The academy started saving digital photos of the grottoes in the 1990s. Two hundred of the caves have been “saved” this way. Videos, cartoons, and games can also help people learn more about the grottoes. Last year, Yunyou Dunhuang, a WeChat mini program, had 12 million person-time visits within two months after it came out. Fighting sandstorms? Sandstorms hit the Mogao Grottoes every spring. Before the 1980s, people had to clear at least 3,000 cubic meters of sand from the caves each year. That’s enough to fill a swimming pool. The academy has since planted trees and built fences to fight the sandstorms, reducing the amount of sand by over 85 percent. Fewer visitors Just 6,000 people can visit the Mogao Grottoes every day. Machines are used to keep an eye on the temperature in the caves. If there are too many people, the caves will be closed. Still, people can enjoy videos at the tourist center before they visit. They don’t have to spend too much time in the caves. Reading What’s next? At this year’s National People’s Congress (全国人民代表大会), Su Bomin, vice-president of the Dunhuang Academy, shared the academy’s plans for the future. A national lab will be set up to research and protect the grottoes. A virtual reality tour system (虚拟现实游览系统) will go online around June. “I hope through our work, the world will learn more about Dunhuang,” Su said. ??? THE DUNHUANG MUSEUM Dunhuang culture with a modern twist The Dunhuang Museum has used elements (元素) of Dunhuang culture to sell things like stationery (文具) and makeup. For example, Chinese actor Wang Yibo got two skateboards (滑板) featuring flying fairy art from the museum. The museum opened its own online store in May 2020. It attracted 50,000 customers in the following three months. Reading Digital Dunhuang People can see clear photos of the Mogao Grottoes online.
