A scholar sets out on a 1,000-mile journey with a single step. But when our group of 90 artists embarks on a 10,000-mile journey, it’s good to start off on the same foot. We have matching itineraries, yet still find different ways to make the most of our travels.

Dancer Sam Pu with man’s best friend (right), and cellist Jiazhen Wu with the mighty Monkey King (an old friend indeed… did you know that his 2,591st birthday is coming up?). (Gary Liu [R] and Kelly Zheng (L)) Of course, how can we forget our culinary expeditions? In Little Rock, our “meatscapaders” ventured out to try Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken. In Baltimore, our female dancers were treated to Spanish tapas for lunch. (Angie Huynh)](https://www.shenyunperformingarts.org/data/image/original/2014/02/14/220787ad7829c9cbc7e9953cb1c36fb3.jpg)
