Features: Some say Shangri-La is in the mysterious and sacred Tibet, while others say it lies in the wild and vibrant Qinghai, and still others say it is in the art-rich Yunnan. The author of this book, Long Anzhi (Laurence J. Brahms), 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 look carefully, 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 looked closely enough, or perhaps Shangri-La is just beyond the horizon.
