Features: Searching for Shangri-La Some say Shangri-La lies in the mysterious and sacred Tibet, while others claim it is in the wild and vibrant Qinghai, or in the art-rich Yunnan. The author of this book, Long Anzhi (Laurence J. Brahm), trekked across several provinces and cities in western China, interviewing artists, dancers, musicians, fashion designers, writers, pop singers, rock bands, environmentalists, monks running aid projects at the grassroots level, Tibetan lamas, and herdsmen, documenting their understanding of searching for Shangri-La. If you search with your heart, Shangri-La might be found in a cup of rich coffee or a steaming bowl of butter tea. Have you found it? Perhaps you haven’t searched carefully enough, or perhaps Shangri-La is just nearby.
