The Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu province, will take on a new batch of 10 volunteers to serve as docents for 40 days in May and June.
The volunteers, age 23 to 54, were selected from more than 1,200 applicants from 9 to 69 years old worldwide through the WeChat account of the Dunhuang Research Institute.
Selection was based on online assessments and interviews that touched on the applicants' Chinese and English language skills and the feasibility of their strategies to spread Dunhuang culture, according to the institute.
