Visiting California would not be complete without a visit to Universal Studios.

On the other side of the world, the Shen Yun New York Company visits Salzburg, Austria for two performances. The famous Hohensalzburg Castle sitting atop a hill near the theater catches our attention. (Photo by dancer Tony Zhao)

We especially enjoy the view from the elevated 11th century castle. (Photo by Tony Zhao)

Recently, the warm weather has brought us outside to explore the cities we visit. We have photos for you to enjoy from Washington, DC, California, and Illinois in America, as well as a few from beautiful Austria.
