On the evening of September 12, a Dunhuang dance at the Yangguan site had just fallen, and the Kazakh dance followed closely, and the two cultures shone together under the ancient pass. With the order of the "City Guarding General", the "Camel Fleet from the East Tianshan Mountain" composed of 26 people from Balikun, Xinjiang, led 33 camels and 3 horses to cross the pass through the pass. This grand entry ceremony kicked off the prelude to the "Camel Fleet from the East Tianshan Mountain - Silk Road Cultural Tour" event entering the Yangguan Yumen Pass Tourism Zone (Yangguan).
It is understood that this camel fleet aims to conduct in-depth research on the culture of transport and visit historical sites by retracing the Silk Road. The team members will march along the ancient Silk Road, carry out cultural inspections and exchanges along the way, measure history with their steps, and record changes with their lenses. The event will simultaneously launch a multi-dimensional communication plan: the professional team will follow the filming throughout the process, and capture the camel fleet's trek in the desert Gobi, the interaction with the people along the way, and the visit to the ruins of the ancient city, and the three-dimensional display of the theme of "retracing the Silk Road and Exploring the Commercial Culture" through documentaries, short videos and other forms. At the same time, the event also linked to the "Camel Bells, Love the Silk Road - The Transmission of Letters from Home for the Cadres of Hami Aid to Xinjiang" project.
Jiang Xiaoliang, the captain of the camel team from Dongtianshan, said: "Dunhuang is not only the intersection of the throat and transportation center that leads to the Western Regions through the Hexi Corridor, but also an indispensable material supply center for business and travel. This event is of great significance to come to Dunhuang."
Sailike, a Camel team member from Dongtianshan, said: "Our Camel team from Dongtianshan, when we came to Dunhuang, we also experienced the enthusiasm of the people of Dunhuang. The government has also provided us with a lot of help. Dunhuang is also a very beautiful place."
In the early morning of September 13, the Yangguan Yumen Pass Tourist Area (Yangguan) held a pass ceremony. The soldiers guarding the city lined up to see him off, and the camel caravan embarked on the journey towards the morning sun. Next, they will continue to move along the Silk Road, crossing 2,750 kilometers to enter Luoyang, Henan at the end of November, and use camel bells to continue writing a new chapter in the dialogue between civilizations.
