The nearest place from heaven

The nearest place to heaven is Shangri-La.

Shangri-La County was originally named Zhongdian County, and Jiantang Town, where the county government is located, is also the capital of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan. The word Shangri-La comes from the book Lost Horizon, which is translated into Shambhala in Tibetan, meaning "the sun and the moon in my heart". It is known as a paradise because of its holy and beautiful natural environment.

Some people say that this is the dream of westerners; Some people say that this is a paradise for China people. This mysterious and quiet paradise is synonymous with Eden, Xanadu and Utopia, and it is also a symbol of eternity, peace and tranquility.

Shangri-La is located in the east of Sanjiang Vertical Valley in Hengduan Mountains on the southeast edge of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Shaluli Mountain Range enters the county seat from Ganzi, Sichuan, and divides into two branches around the east and west sides of the county seat. Jinsha River enters the county from Tuzhaobi, flows southward between Sasubi and Lijiang Shigu in Jinjiang Township, and suddenly turns northeast.

The letter to Luo Ji Ji flowed into Ping Zi, Sichuan, and surrounded the south of the county seat. Shangri-La has become a magnificent place with "Snow Mountain as the city and Jinsha as the pool" with narrow ends and wide middle.
