2018 Shen Yun in Israel

2018 Shen Yun in Israel (Preview)

Where the local presenters eagerly awaited them.

On an overcast day, the company took a trip to Jerusalem and posted at the lookout over the city from the Mount of Olives.

Golgotha, just inside the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. After climbing a set of steep steps to a false floor you get a close view of the ceiling. This site includes the crucifixion site at top of Golgotha Hill. (Photo by Tiffany Yu)

And, of course, a trip through the Old City Market. (Photo by Tiffany Yu)

…which included lots of opportunities for good local food. (Photo by Tiffany Yu)

A recurring theme throughout the entire Israel stay. (Photo by Tiffany Yu)

The group then headed through the desert to the Dead Sea. At -304 meters (-997 feet), the Dead Sea is the lowest, and saltiest, point on Earth. (Photo by Tiffany Yu)

The Dead Sea also holds the record for the world’s lowest bar, lowest Coca Cola advertisement, and lowest presence of a Shen Yun performer. (Photo by Kenji Kobayashi)

And finally, four performances in front of a standing-room only audience at Tel Aviv’s beautiful Opera House.
