How does it feel to step into traditional Chinese attire and try your hand at centuries-old cultural traditions? Around 150 sinologists from across the world have gathered in Dunhuang in northwest China's Gansu Province to find out.

This historic crossroads of the ancient Silk Road hosted the Third World Conference of Sinologists from June 2 to 4.
