香格里拉的英文介绍

答案

It was the British writer James Hilton's novel,The Lost Horizon,some 50 years ago,that brought fame to an unknown and uncontaminated place- Shangri-La - a household name.The novel described in great detail the stunning scenery in the area:the azure sky,the breathtaking beauty and the hospitality of unsophisticated people who welcome weary travelers to their homeland.
In Tibetan,Shangri- La means a place of good fortune and luck.Located in the midst of three rivers; the torrential Jinsha,Langcang and Nujiang,Shangri-La is a sacred scenic region with distinguishing features.Scores of years have witnessed the failure of numerous efforts to seek out and pinpoint the exact location of this dreamland.A few years ago,after years of persistent searching and researching,the government of Yunnan Province finally declared the discovery of Shangri-La and the long lost horizon was recovered in Diqing,this stunning prefecture in Yunnan Province..
