Shen Yun 2017 Vacation Photos

After months of intense rehearsals and then five months on tour, it was time for Shen Yun’s artists to have a mini respite. We begin with dancer Kexin Li at Arches National Park in Utah.

Shen Yun 2017 Vacation Photos

Kexin Li decided to visit four U.S. national parks on her vacation. Here she is under Delicate Arch in Utah.

As you can see, she enjoys stretching even while on vacation.

Others followed the great tradition of the Caribbean vacation, in this case Bermuda, where dancers (from left) Danny Li, Felix Sun, Benjamin Lee, and Jason Pan chillaxed.

Even after being together in the same dressing rooms, hotel rooms, airplanes, and buses 24 hours a day for months, these dancers choose to also take their vacations together. As part of their Caribbean cruise, they visited Labadee, Haiti.

They also went on a rock climbing rainforest tour in Puerto Rico. (Photo by Felix Sun)

Others enjoyed the beaches of Florida…. Pictured is projectionist Regina Dong in Longboat Key, Florida.

Some chose to return to destinations they had visited during tour for a closer look with more free time. Entrance to Todai-ji Temple in Nara, Japan. (Photo by projectionist Annie Li)

Dancer Daren Chou also made some new friends in a Japanese park.

…whereas it was roses galore in England, visited by another group of dancers. If you’ve seen traditional Chinese art, you’ll know they have a fascination with images of critters on flowers and vegetables. (Photo by dancer Diana Teng)

Others, like MC Leeshai Lemish, chose to spend vacation with their families.

They went to the mountains of Colorado, where, after a steep hike, they reached Glenwood Canyon’s Hanging Lake—a destination that might soon be closed due to too many visitors.

You’ll love this one from Banff by bassist TK Kuo.

Lily Wang was determined to get close enough, safely, to Bridalveil Falls to capture this rainbow. She got soaked from the spray in the process, but it was worth it.

Who knows what bird this is? Maybe a female blue jay? (Photo taken at Yosemite by Lily Wang)

Meanwhile, on her own national park tour, dancer Kexin Li took this photo on Grinnell Glacier Trail, Glacier National Park, Montana.

Bighorn sheep in the wild in Montana. Other Shen Yun vacationers in different parts of the country also spotted moose and black bear.

In Yellowstone, Wyoming, the third of her national parks, Kexin Li took this photo of Grand Prismatic Spring.

Finally, her fourth national park: Grand Teton, Wyoming. Sunrise at Oxbow Bend. (Photo by Kexin Li)
