Lunch Talk - DUNHUANG TREASURE HUNT by Mr. Thomas TSO

DUNHUANG TREASURE HUNT by Mr. Thomas TSO
Being an oasis situated strategically on the ancient Silk Road, Dunhuang had for centuries been a meeting point of East and West, much like Hong Kong today. Dunhuang's Mogao Caves were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, for being a breathtaking testimony to human creativity and cultural exchanges. It is a treasure house of art and culture. In recent years, Dunhuang has become a very hot tourist destination. But what makes this desert jewel so irresistible? Join us as we unveil its secrets and explore the treasures that have attracted world attention.

敦煌尋寶
敦煌石窟是中華歷史文化的寶庫,內藏的文物跨越十個朝代超過一千年。位於茫茫大漠的一個綠洲,敦煌是連貫西域和中國的絲綢之路必經之地,其功能和角色跟香港很相似。敦煌的莫高窟,於1987年入選聯合國教科文組織世界遺產名錄。它們不僅是歷史的遺跡,更是文化交融的壯麗見證。敦煌旅遊近年火熱,是什麼吸引著全球旅人、學者?讓我們一同多瞭解敦煌的前世今生,探尋那令世人沉醉千年的瑰寶。
