A 5 a.m. fire alarm forces lighting engineer Benny Chan out of his bed in Gold Coast, Australia. Witnessing the sunrise over the city is not the worst way to start a double-performance day!

Neuschwanstein Castle! This historic European landmark is sometimes called the fairytale palace. It inspired the Walt Disney castle.

Built as a private residence by the shy monarch, it is now—ironically—open to the public and explored by up to 6,000 people a day. (Photo by Kexin Li)

Looking closer, you might notice another castle on the right. Let's go check it out... (Photo by Andrew Fung)

This is a smaller castle that King Ludwig II visited with his family as a child on holidays. The time he spent here likely inspired him to build his own home—Neuschwanstein Castle—in the same area later on. (Photo by Andrew Fung)

Next, Shen Yun International Company visits Sanssouci Palace, a favorite summer residence of the Prussian King Fredrick the Great. (Photo by dancer Tony Zhao)

Sanssouci comes from the French “sans souci,” which means “without worry,” or “carefree.” This palace was meant for relaxation and recreation, not business. (Photo by Tony Zhao)

Fredrick the Great sketched the original blueprint for the palace, and was heavily involved in the overall design. (Photo by Tony Zhao)
