Photos of the Week: 5/3-5/11 (Preview)

Shen Yun World Company was wrapping up its tour in South Korea and Seoul was supposed to be the next-to-last city. But after threats from the Chinese Embassy, KBS Hall canceled the four Shen Yun performances there. Principal Dancer Ben Chen spent some time visiting the traditional palaces of Seoul.

Under the eaves in Gyeongbokgung Palace. The palace was built in the style of ancient Chinese architecture; traditional Chinese culture is very much revered in Korea but, ironically, a performance of traditional Chinese culture is canceled - and that because of the Chinese Embassy. (photo by dancer Ben Chen)

In front of the main palace hall, officials would stand in the court according to their ranks, identical to the ancient Chinese system. (photo by dancer Ben Chen)
