The Lost Heaven

[@timothygeorge2530]

Shangri last exists: It is understanding emptiness and that, that awareness is fleeting as well. It is in yourself

Only the righteous and pure of heart can enter Shambala......there is a portal in a certain area of the mountains.

[@OptionsOwnsU]

Ajay Ghale was there

[@user-fm3en3gz7z]

This is not the 'real' Shangari-La. The name was taken by the city of the then Zhong Dien for tourist purposes. The real Shangari-La is the white mountain, Mei Li Xeu Shan, although mythical this is much more like the Shangari-La that James Hilton envisaged. To go there take the route to Upper Yubeng, far away to the north and west, to the mountain range bordering Myanmar, Tibet and Assam. Go to Deqan and from there to Upper Yubeng by 4-wheel drive to the border of the protected area and then the obligitory Landcruiser to Upper Yubeng. You won't be disappointed.

[@michaelgee7509]

Went there in 2006 it was amazing

[@DestinationChina]

It's hard to say where the real Shangri-La was likely located, but this place named Shangri-La in Yunnan province is definitely a pretty stunning area, with Meili Snow Mountain, as you mentioned, reaching 6700 meters altitude. It's the tallest mountain in the province.

[@saisarathkanuparthi647]

I think the place which u have shown in the video isn't Shangri la

[@kaiyote4717]

doesnt even mention the legend and is basically an add for traveling to china

[@dakubhai2495]

2:05 “Suck it everyone! I can speak Chinese.” Is it the point of this part of the video? According to the absence of any subs.

We'd be happy to have the perspective from our Chinese friends, but are afraid it may be hard to understand for an international audience. Thanks for your feedback
