The fourth Dunhuang Tour Silk Road International Tourism Festival opened in Zhangye city, Northwest China’s Gansu province, on June 15. The event attracted two international tourism organizations, envoys to China from 25 different countries and regions, about 100 overseas travel agencies, and over 40 members of the media from home and abroad.

Wang Sanyun, secretary of Gansu provincial Party committee, attended the ceremony and announced its opening.

Silk Road, with a history of more than 2,000 years and stretching over 7,000 kilometers, was an inland commercial trade route in ancient times connecting Asia, Africa and Europe. China is the starting point of the route.

The tourism festival, which has been held three times, plays a vital role in promoting tourism and international communication and cooperation in Gansu.
