Perfect timing! Cherry blossoms appear for only a short time—late March to mid-April. (Photo by Michelle Wu)

If you watched this year’s Shen Yun performance, you’ll know there is one piece in which people in a painting come to life. These graceful ladies strike a similar pose in this painting-like scene. (Photo by Stephanie Guo)

After Daegu, Shen Yun arrives at the final South Korean city on tour—Cheongju. Here, Korean dancer Jungsu Lee admires a monument of the first Korean printed book, Jikji, published in 1377. (Photo by dancer Steve Feng)

Due to limited space inside the Cheongju Art Center, rehearsal is moved to the plaza outside. Dancers synchronize their moves in front of the theater’s reflective glass doors—they make pretty good mirrors!

Upon arriving at the airport in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, conductor Milen Nachev finds himself surrounded by fans. The Taiwanese leg of the tour is about to begin.

Back in Canada, after 10 performances it's time for Shen Yun Touring Company to say goodbye to Vancouver—but not before one last stop to enjoy British Columbia’s magnificent mountains. (Photo by Principal Dancer William Li)

Atop Whistler Mountain.

A ride in the world's highest lift of its kind, the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, takes the dancers to the summit of Blackcomb Mountain.

Not just the highest, it is also part of the world’s longest lift system, connecting two high-speed chair lifts and one gondola.

Dancers pay tribute to the vastness of space from the summit of Blackcomb Mountain, almost 8,000 ft up.

Shen Yun New York Company arrives in Austria’s Graz.

An incredible winding staircase ascends to the top of a cliff. It's a long way up, but the dancers are curious to have a look. Let’s go! (Photo by dancer Tony Zhao)

At the top, they discover a huge clock tower overlooking Graz, the second largest city in Austria. Providing historic beauty and punctuality assistance, the 18th century tower has parts dating back to the Middle Ages.

Dancer Henry Hung poses in the gazebo lookout on top of the hill. Surprisingly, this is actually a Chinese-style pavilion in Graz!

The hilltop also includes manicured gardens and a public park. The city has a nice welcoming feel, and all performances here are sold out.

From the other side of the amphitheater you can see the Torre dei Lamberti—an over 800-year-old tower. Its bells were once used to call town meetings and warn citizens of fires. (Photo by Felix Sun)

Built in the first century but still in use today, the Arena di Verona is one of the best preserved Roman amphitheaters. From left: dancers Henry Hung, Stanley Lin, Allen Liu, and Felix Sun.
