By following the footsteps of the young man, surnamed Bai, who was staying at Dunhuang to seek musical inspiration from the profound mural art, the audience either walk through, stand or sit while exploring the immersive performance spaces.

The venue is part of a homonymous cultural tourism industry complex that combines immersive performing arts as well as cultural and creative products to boost the tourist economy.
