After spending five months in hotels, theaters, and buses, being surrounded by nature really reorients you.

Reaching for the sky on Philopappos Hill in Athens.

The majestic Parthenon looms ahead.

Daniella sits in the ancient theater of Epidaurus. She says that being in an ancient theater in the country where theater was born is really cool!

For violist Rachel Chen, spending five months in relatively cold places this tour meant it was time to head somewhere tropical for vacation. Behold the view of Ocho Rios, Jamaica from her resort.

Welcome to the Cool Blue Hole (or Irie Blue Hole), nestled in the mountains above Ocho Rios. Serene waterfalls and cool swimming pools like this one make for a relaxing afternoon.

It's no wonder Peterhof Palace is often referred to as the

Japan seems to be a Shen Yun favorite vacation destination. It's not hard to see why with views like this of the iconic Mt. Fuji. (Photo by dancer Kexin Li)

On the way to Sengen Shrine at the base of Mt. Fuji.

Another view of Mt. Fuji, at the top of Tenjo Mountain. A local myth holds that if you make a wish while ringing this bell and looking through the heart at Mt. Fuji, your wish will come true.

In eateries throughout Japan, plastic versions of the meals offered are often displayed in the shop windows. Oh deer, this potential customer seems quite tempted.

Not too far from Japan, Dancer Jeff Chuang takes a peaceful walk through a bamboo forest in Alishan, Taiwan...
