During the inspection tour on Monday, Xi visited the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, a key cultural heritage site under state-level protection.
Dunhuang culture shows the Chinese nation's confidence in its culture, Xi said. "Only a self-confident civilization can absorb and draw on the achievements of other civilizations while maintaining its own characteristics."
Xi also encouraged workers in the cultural sector to well tell the stories of Dunhuang and China.
During his visit to the Mogao Grottoes, Xi talked with tourists there and wished them a pleasant journey.
