Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. In the book, "Shangri-La" is a mysterious, harmonious valley, where three rivers joined together, mountains, the tops of which were covered by snow, reached to the sky and fields of long grass covered the earth. In this perfect world lived people who could live without getting old. In the Tibetan language, Shangri-la means the sun and the moon in one’s heart. Today, it has become a word which is used in our everyday life, meaning heaven on the earth.
Several places in the Buddhist Himalaya between northern India and Tibet have claimed to be the basis for Hilton's legend, largely to attract tourism. In China, Tao Qian of the Jin Dynasty described a Shangri-La in his work Story of the Peach Blossom Valley (桃花源記). In modern China, the Zhongdian country was renamed to 香格里拉县in 2001, to attract tourists. The legendary Kun Lun Mountains in Tibet offer other possible Shangri-La valleys.
Today, millions of tourists visit Shangri-la. The beautiful scenery there will make it hard for any viewer to describe in words. Three mountains, which are covered with snow, tower over the land. Lakes, surrounded by vast grasslands, look like jewels. Sheep, cows and horses feed freely on the green grass and the forests around are home to lots of birds and animals. In this heavenly world, people live peacefully with nature and are nearly separated from the outside world.
The weather in Shangri-la is so changeable (易变的)that the tourists can feel they have four seasons in one day. The best times to visit Shangri-la are spring and autumn because the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold.
