Features: "Where the sun rises earliest is Jiantang in the east, where the most extraordinary life exists is Shangri-La by the Naizi River." Here are tranquil and transcendent lakes, stones full of spiritual energy, the azure and far-reaching sky, vast and boundless mountains and rivers, magnificent and beautiful gorges, grand temples, and wise lamas. The meadows here are covered with wildflowers in full bloom, always filled with a romantic atmosphere of joyful times. The people live in harmony because they hold deities in their hearts, giving them a natural acceptance of fate. This is the mysterious land described by British novelist James Hilton in Lost Horizon, hidden among the eastern mountains. This book selects exquisite essays and reflections left by Chinese and foreign writers and scholars after visiting Shangri-La, showcasing its unique charm from different perspectives. Through these works, one can not only feel the grandeur and beauty of natural landscapes but also appreciate humanity's relentless pursuit of its spiritual homeland.
