Shangri-La is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province, which means "the sun and moon in the heart" in Tibetan language. Located in the northwest of Yunnan Province and the hinterland of Hengduan Mountain Area of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Shangri-La is the junction of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet, and also the location of the world natural heritage "Three Parallel Rivers" scenic spot.
Shangri-La appeared in British writer James Hilton's famous novel "Lost Horizon" in the 1930s, and it was longed for by the world. Soon it was made into a film of the same name and won a number of Oscar Awards, which made it more well known to the world. Shangri-La Tibetan area has a long history and beautiful natural scenery.
