Watch it again: Lantern Festival lights bring the Dunhuang grottoes to life

As thousands of lanterns illuminate the night sky, Dunhuang's mural art seems to come alive. Flying apsaras appear to glow, colors seem to awaken, and the city transforms into a dreamlike open-air gallery of light and history.

There is a saying that China's finest lantern shows are "first in Chang'an, second in Dunhuang". So just how spectacular is this year's show?

Follow China Daily on an immersive walk through a world where the ancient meets the modern. Tune in at 8 pm Monday to watch live.
