A Shenzhen exhibition featuring replicas of the Mogao Grottoes offers visitors an immersive experience on a vast scale. Deng Zhangyu reports.

It's not possible for everyone to visit the Mogao Grottoes, home to the world's largest collection of Buddhist artworks, in person.

But a large-scale show in Shenzhen featuring reconstructions of individual caves found at the heritage site not only lets visitors appreciate the art that highlights China's culture in detail but also provides an immersive experience thanks to the use of cutting-edge technology.
