A poverty-stricken Chinese village won national fame after transforming into a chic tourist haven for jaded urbanites. But empty homestays as a result of COVID-19 have spread doubt among residents on whether their newfound prosperity will last.

1900年,敦煌藏经洞被意外发现。由于国力衰微,大量文物流失海外,“敦煌在中国,敦煌学在国外”的说法一度流传。改革开放后,中国学者奋力直追。近日,记者从“纪念藏经洞发现120周年学术研讨会”上获悉,尽管文物流失四海,但全球敦煌文献图版及释文的整理编写工作基本都由中国人完成。

In 1900, Dunhuang Buddhist scripture cave was accidentally discovered. Due to the decline of national power and the loss of a large number of cultural relics overseas, the saying that "Dunhuang is in China and Dunhuang Studies is abroad" once spread. After the reform and opening up, Chinese scholars strove to catch up. Recently, the reporter learned from the "Symposium to Commemorate the 120th Anniversary of the Discovery of the Tibetan Scripture Hole" that although cultural relics have been lost all over the world, the compilation and compilation of the global Dunhuang manuscripts and interpretations are basically done by Chinese.

#DiscoverWinterGuangxi The Equan Lake(鹅泉) is located in Jingxi, Baise. It is the source of the Detian Waterfall(德天瀑布). The ancient bridge here is splendid and magnificent, consisting of 15 stone arch bridges. And the best time to take photos for the bridge is before sunset. If the weather is good, you can also enjoy starry sky at night. #China #Guangxi #Chinatravel
