The classic dance drama Flower Rains Along the Silk Road was staged at the Gansu Opera House in Lanzhou, Northwest China's Gansu province, on Saturday evening, providing the audience with an astonishing artistic feast.

The drama is based on the Dunhuang frescoes and the Silk Road, with a theme of peace and friendship. It portrays Dunhuang painter Shen Bizhang and his daughter, Ying Niang, and their pure friendship with a Persian merchant.
