The closing concert, Echoing the Silk Road: a Musical Journey-Silk Road Chorus Concert", epitomized this spirit by gathering choral groups from across the Silk Road to perform a repertoire in unity. Through scenic performances and traditional instruments, the artists celebrated the timeless charm of Silk Road culture, highlighting the region's rich legacy and cross-cultural resonance.
