4.Shangri-La (meaning moon and sun in Tibetan, referring to an idyllic and beautiful place), Yunan: a city from a dream.

Ever since its mention in British writer James Hilton's Lost Horizon, Shangri-La has been a city of people's dreams. The shining snow-capped mountain, boundless meadows, changing clouds and glittering smiles on the faces of local people seem to be the same as they were thousands of years ago. Shangri-La's serenity and tranquility is hard to describe with words. The only way to truly know about it is to experience it in person. Visitors can also experience local Tibetan celebrations such as horse races, the Gedong Festival and the Xianzi (a local instrument) Festival.

Spring and summer are the best seasons to visit Shangri-La.
