Presented by China Oriental Performing Arts Group, the acclaimed dance drama The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting sets out on a highly anticipated North American tour this summer. From July 17 to August 10, 2025, the iconic production will grace the stages of Vancouver, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Houston, offering audiences an unforgettable experience with the spirit of classical Chinese art.
