Shangri-La, a place made famous by James Hilton's 1933 novel "Lost Horizon", is a fantasy land. It is widely believed that part of Sichuan province and Yunnan province is the true inspiration of Hilton's novel. The soul of this land is in Yading Nature Reserve, located in the southern part of Daocheng County, in western Sichuan. A far better place than Yosemite, with its three majestic sacred mountains, its awesome and prestine scenery is one of nature's greatest gifts.

蓝莲花(许巍)
没有什么能够阻挡 你对自由的向往 天马行空的生涯 你的心了无牵挂
穿过幽暗的岁月 也曾感到彷徨 当你低头的瞬间 才发觉脚下的路
心中那自由的世界 如此得清澈高远 盛开着永不凋零 蓝莲花
