Shen Yun Performing Arts has just touched down in South Korea, starting their tour in Busan, with a three-show run. Our correspondent was there, and caught up with two Chinese students who recommend all Chinese students studying abroad see the show.

ANCHOR AFTER STORY:
Shen Yun has one more show in Busan Thursday night, then it moves to the city of Daegu on Friday for a six show run. Shen Yun will also be in the U.S. cities of Detroit and Raleigh, North Carolina. More info at www.Shen Yun Performing Arts.org.

Busan is the second largest metropolis in South Korea. Sitting on the southeastern-most tip of the Korean peninsula, it is the first stop outside of North America for Shen Yun Performing Arts' 2011 international tour.

And the world's premier classical Chinese dance company impressed these two Chinese students at its first show at the Busan Cultural Center.

[Sun Cheng, Chinese Student]:
"I will just use a word to sum this up, I think through the performance, through all the culture, I think except for the heart-shaking excitement, there's still heart-shaking excitement. There's nothing else."

Although Pei Lin grew up in China, he says the show gave him a window into China's ancient culture that he never saw before.

[Pei Lin, Chinese Student]:
"It's particularly beautiful. I've absolutely never seen anything like this in mainland China... And then, I feel like I am having shower, particularly comfortable." (Video editor cut when the narrator starts)

Shen Yun aims to revive traditional Chinese culture that has been all but destroyed under decades of communist rule.

[Sun Cheng, Chinese Student]:
"In mainland China you can't see this kind of performance. I have friends there and I feel it's really a bit sad."

Sun Cheng hopes more Chinese students will see Shen Yun.
