China and Italy are the two countries with the largest number of world cultural heritage. In 1987, the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang, Venice and lagoon were listed in the The World Heritage List at the same time, becoming one of the few world cultural heritage sites that meet all six recognition criteria

The distance between Dunhuang and Venice is about 6460 kilometers in a straight line. Now, after connecting flights, the shortest flight time is about 15 hours. Once upon a time, the journey to each other was so long that it was enough to meet many people and spread many stories, so there was Venice in Dunhuang and Dunhuang in Venice

Venice, born in the sea, has lived on the sea for more than 1000 years since the refugees from the mainland moved to the lagoon. Riato Fish Market, located in the center of Venice, has a history of more than 600 years. Most of the vendors are fishermen from nearby islands. Once, Riato was the stage for Venetian merchants, where people talked about the transaction price of spices and exchanged information from distant ports

The ancient ceremony was held as scheduled. Venetians wore their ancestors' clothes and repeated their ancestors' festivals, as if time and space had changed and the past had reappeared. On the other side of the world, there is also a Chinese-style carnival. But under this colorful face, Dunhuang people are no longer the former Dunhuang people
