Shangri-La | Originated from the Lost Horizon.

The word "Shangri-La" originated from the novel "Lost Horizon" by British writer James Hilton. It is a place of eternal peace and tranquility located in the mountains of the East. Between the two World Wars, he said: "The world is in danger of being lost, and his thoughts are stationed in Shangri-La." When we dream of going to Northern Europe and Southern France, Westerners are obsessed with Shangri-La. "Mountains as a barrier, rivers as a link" is a unique natural landscape of Shangri-La. When flying over Shangri-La, you will find from a bird's-eye view that the Nu River, Lancang River and Jinsha River form a graceful "chuan" (川), and Gaoligong Mountain, Biluo Snow Mountain and Yunling form a bold and rough "chuan" (川). Nature uses subtle and shocking power to interpret the beauty of mountains and rivers to the extreme. In this mysterious canyon surrounded by snow-capped mountains, there are pyramid-shaped snow peaks, sapphire-like lakes, and vast boundless grasslands. People live in harmony with nature, multiple religions coexist, and multiple ethnic groups live together. One day you will come to Shangri-La, to find the "sun and moon in your heart". 📍Meili Snow Mountain: The most beautiful snow mountain in the world, the main peak Kawagarbo is the highest peak in Yunnan 📍Tiger Leaping Gorge: The world's largest canyon with a drop, known as "one of the world's top ten classic hiking trails" 📍Songzanlin Temple: The largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yunnan Province, known as the "Little Potala Palace" 📍Dukezong Ancient Town: An ancient town with a history of over 1300 years, the best-preserved and largest Tibetan residential community in China, a hub of the Tea Horse Road 📍Napahai: A plateau lake surrounded by a beautiful grassland, a good place for cycling around the lake 📍Baishuitai: A naturally formed travertine landform, known as the "Fairy's Abandoned Field" 📍Ni'ru Village: The world's first ecological village, hidden in the primeval forest, like a secluded and quiet paradise 📍Bottomless Lake: A niche secret place, filming location for "Wife's Romantic Travel" 📍Pudacuo National Park: China's first national park, with Bitahai, Shudu Lake and Mirithang Alpine Pasture 📍Bitahai: The highest lake in Yunnan Province, a pearl of the plateau
