Oh yeah! I knew this trip would be worthwhile! Look at all this stuff in Dunhuang. Every item is made through a long and complicated process, showing how much the people here love art. There are also colorful, varied murals. The pictures on the walls are said to be masterpieces of world literature. Many luminous wine cups glow with a captivating light beneath the moon, their colors enchanting. (I wonder if it really is moonlight before my window, which I mistake for frost on the ground, shining on the moonlit cups and making them glow.) Just as I was at a loss for what to do, a small handicraft caught my eye and drew my attention. It was dazzling and just what I wanted, perfect as a souvenir of this trip to Dunhuang.
As I walked along the road, I heard a stall owner calling out, "Miss! Miss, come take a look! I have exquisite little knives from the Silk Road. They're very sharp and compact, perfect for you."
"All right, all right, let me have a look. Let me see. This is pretty good." Hearing the words "Silk Road" caught my interest.
