The Sixth Silk Road (Dunhuang) Cultural Expo was held from 06 to 07 September in Dunhuang City, northwest China's Gansu Province, under the theme 'Connecting with the World: Cultural Exchanges and Mutual Learning'. Dunhuang City was a significant hub on the ancient Silk Road, facilitating trade and cultural interactions between China, Central Asia, and the Western regions. The western region of Gansu has a rich history of being home to many World Heritage Sites. The Rainbow Mountains of China in the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park are one of the world's geological wonders. Located in the north-western province of Gansu, one of the most beautiful places in China, it was recognized by UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009. The Rainbow Mountains were formed over 24 million years of geological evolution. Layers of mineral-rich sandstone and other sedimentary rocks created these unique striations of color, and subsequent tectonic activity and erosion sculpted them into their current shapes.
