Beyond the journey

Both Wu and his wife are from Sichuan, but they met by chance in Dunhuang, where they eventually decided to settle and build a life together.

Over the years, Wu has noticed more young people from across China choosing to make Dunhuang their home.

"Dunhuang may not offer the same material comforts as larger cities, but what draws people here is the unique blend of rich cultural heritage and the vibrant energy of a modern city," Wu explained.

He added that the city's well-developed tourism industry not only drives the local economy but also creates more opportunities for young entrepreneurs.

Li also observed that, in the past 10 years, Dunhuang's urban development and infrastructure have significantly improved.

He used to be frequently asked how he, coming from the coastal city of Shenzhen, adapted to life in a landlocked city like Dunhuang. Now, he's starting to see Cantonese restaurants opening, a sign of the area's increasing diversity.

"I've grown alongside Dunhuang. It has supported my dream of traveling the world, and I've given something back as well," he said.
