Features: "The earliest place where the sun shines is Jian Tang in the east, the most extraordinary place in the world is Shangri-La by the Milky River." Here are tranquil and transcendent lakes, stones full of spiritual energy, a deep blue and far-reaching sky, vast and boundless mountains and rivers, magnificent and beautiful gorges, grand temples, and wise lamas. The meadows here are filled with wildflowers, always brimming 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. Among the many books about Shangri-La currently available, this one is undoubtedly unique. The author is not satisfied with simple praise for Shangri-La but instead provides objective eyewitness accounts, including criticism and research. This book offers a panoramic cultural map of Shangri-La, with numerous historical narratives and cultural concepts forming the author's multiple routes of "returning" to Shangri-La. Of course, this is not just a geographical level but more of a spiritual orientation.
