Shangri-La is a fictional place described in 1933 British novel.
To attract tourism, several places have claimed to be the Shangri-La of the novel.
One of these places is Zhongdian County in Yunnan, which was renamed 香格里拉 (Xiānggélǐlā, Shangri-La in Chinese) in 2001.
Shangri-La, Yunnan has very strong Tibetan influence.
