Features: Introduction Some say Shangri-La is in the mysterious and sacred Tibet, while others say it lies in the wild and dynamic Qinghai, or in the art-rich Yunnan. The author of this book, 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 finding Shangri-La. If you look closely, 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 next hill.
