2018 Photos from Tour: April 15-30 (Preview)

These cherry trees were originally a gift to the United States from Tokyo, Japan. Approximately 3,000 of them were planted in 1912. (Photo by dancer Edwin Fu)

We're very fortunate to visit not long after the peak bloom period. (Photo by cellist Yueh Chu)

After enjoying the cherry blossoms, Principal Dancer Xinghao Che uses the stage of the Kennedy Center Opera House to warm up. (Photo by Edwin Fu)

Girls from the Touring Company take the opportunity to practice together by using the theater's dance studio. (Photo by Rachael Bastick)

Dancer Cecilia Wang holds her leg at 180 degrees in the open space of the practice room. (Photo by Rachael Bastick)

After ten sold out shows in Washington, DC, we load the buses and head to the next city! (Photo by projectionist Ye Jin)

In Aurora, Illinois, dancer Huiyi Fan and Principal Dancer Kaidi Wu hold a symmetrical pose in the lobby of the Paramount Theatre. Due to popular demand, a seventh performance was added to the schedule at this theater. (Photo by Ye Jin)

Meanwhile, Shen Yun World Company dancers in San Luis Obispo, California rehearse together to familiarize themselves with the stage of the Performing Arts Center. (Photo by dancer Jeff Chuang)

Violinist Tseyu Chang gets some fresh air while warming up outside the Performing Arts Center of San Luis Obispo. (Photo by dancer Ben Chen)

Dancers Leo Yin and Bill Xiong get into character before one of two shows in San Luis Obispo. (Photo by Jeff Chuang)

Visiting California would not be complete without a visit to Universal Studios. Dancer Chad Chen, dancer Ben Chen, dancer Leo Lee, L.A. guide Sam Pu, dancer Jun Liang, and dancer Daniel Sun (L to R) visit the famous L.A. theme park on their day off from performing at the Microsoft Theater. (Photo by production manager Gregory Xu)

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)

From the Salzburg Fortress you can see much of the city and landscape. (Photo by dancer Felix Sun)

A view of Salzburg from the bank of the Salzach—a river that runs through both Austria and Germany. (Photo by Felix Sun)

We are lucky enough to find beautiful murals and sculptures right next to the Großes Festspielhaus. (Photo by Tony Zhao)

Flowers are blooming everywhere. We spot these bright pink ones while exploring Salzburg. (Photo by Tony Zhao)

In Salzburg, we visit the Italian inspired Mirabell Palace and gardens. Surprisingly, the building is said to have been completed in only six months! (Photo by Felix Sun)

Then all the way in Japan, dancer Hannah Rao quietly warms up on the stage of the Nagoya Congress Hall. The Japanese leg of the tour just concluded, but we look forward to performing in the Land of the Rising Sun next year! (Photo by projectionist Annie Li)
