Description
Step into a living Dunhuang mural without leaving Shanghai. Dine on a Silk Road-inspired feast while watching Apsaras fly from 14-meter heights, all inside a breathtaking replica of the Mogao Grottoes.
Xu Dunhuang is Xuyan‘s stunning tribute to the crossroads of ancient civilizations, where the Silk Road met the grottoes of Dunhuang. This near 2‑hour immersive dinner theatre transports you from the bustling streets of Shanghai straight into the heart of the Gobi Desert, surrounded by cave art, flying celestial maidens, and the mystique of a thousand-year-old oasis.
The venue is a 14‑meter‑high full-scale replica of the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, complete with carved cave structures, authentic mural patterns, and 360° immersive staging. The moment you sit down, you feel truly enveloped by the artistic legacy of the Silk Road.
Each course is paired with a dedicated performance drawn from Dunhuang‘s mural stories.
Arrive early to choose from hundreds of exquisitely crafted Dunhuang‑style costumes. Whether you wish to dress as a Silk Road merchant in elegant warrior robes or as a celestial Apsaras in flowing rainbow silks, professional stylists will complete your look with period‑appropriate hair ornaments and makeup. The transformation is so immersive that you‘ll feel like you’ve stepped directly out of a mural.(extra cost)
Before the show, walk through a signature installation featuring 22 life‑size Flying Apsaras statues, with flowing golden ribbons and ancient musical instruments bathed in moving light. It‘s the perfect prelude to the main event, and an unforgettable photo opportunity.
