Photoblog: Journey Across Asia-Pacific (1)

This is when we arrived at our first stop - Seoul, Korea. Look at everyone’s beaming faces! (Epoch Times)

Among the fans welcoming us at the airport was this little Korean girl who especially caught our attention. (Danielle Wang)

This precious youngster won the hearts of our performers, many of whom couldn’t resist stopping for a photo. (Zimin Jia)

Being in Korea, we couldn’t do without sampling the famous Korean barbecue! (Zimin Jia)

Authentic Korean kimchee - notice there are three types of pickled vegetables wrapped in the leaves (complements for the barbecued meat). (Yang Song) In addition to kimchee, another internationally popular Korean delicacy is “Korean rice cake.” (Yang Song) Did the price tag scare you? Don’t worry, it’s Korean currency. (Yang Song)

After watching the drama “Dae Jang Geum" (Jewel in the Palace), I was really craving for some delicious Korean bone broth. Today my wishes were fulfilled! (Yang Song)

Many different flavors of crêpe for desert! Not bad at all. (Yang Song)

These exquisite delights were hand-made on the spot! (Yang Song)

Other than Korean barbecue, bibimbap is another must-try food. (Zimin Jia)

You mix the various vegetables, meat patty, and rice together. Then add an egg on top and voilà! (Cheng En)

We had 12 shows in 12 days. My fellow Shen Yun performers and I will never forget the warmth and kindness the Korean people showed us. (Jacob Wallenberg)

With reluctance, we left Korea for our next tour destination - New Zealand. (Yang Song)

After over a ten-hour “nap”, we awoke to find ourselves in a new country! (Xingzi)

From atop Auckland’s park at Mount Eden, we could see the Sky Tower, the city’s highest point. (Danielle Wang)

This city of 1.4 million inhabitants was selected as one of the top 5 residential cities in the world. (Zimin Jia)

For those of you who have seen our performance, can you figure out which program our dancers are posing for? (Zimin Jia)

As the saying goes: “One minute on stage, takes ten years practice off stage…” (Zimin Jia)

When it was finally time to leave New Zealand, I couldn’t help being a little blue. (Danielle Wang)

This year’s Asia-Pacific tour has at last come to an end. Now I finally have some time to organize all my photos from the last five months. This tour we traveled through major cities in Korea, New Zealand, Australia and Taiwan. However, amidst our 100 plus performances, we did manage to sneak in some time to play in these exotic locales. Here’s a mini slideshow for everyone to enjoy!
