SHANGRILA - the Himalayan Utopia that turned Real I S2, EP76

In this episode, I started the ride in Lijiang, and then riding towards Shangri-la!
Shangri-la is mesmerizing county-level city nestled in northwestern Yunnan Province, it is the largest city of the Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. The city, originally known as Zhongdian (中甸), was renamed Shangri-La in 2001, inspired by the fictional paradise in James Hilton's 1933 novel "Lost Horizon". The city has an old town and an amazing Tibetan Buddist monastery...

Your use of English is excellent. The way you express yourself is quite musical, very pleasing to the ear.

Ni HAO 🌹 I love China, it's people and culture. My greatest adventure in my life was travelling to China with train, then around in China. 🌟 Kuan Yin has been my Guardian for 23 years 🥳

A melodious flute in a background of stunning scenic valleys in the far east is perfectly in keeping with my imagination of Shangrila. You made my day! Thank you for taking your viewers to roads less travelled.

My dear little sister Little Chinese Everywhere

The big prayer wheel is an incredible copper artwork, even a samoyed dog went around to pray.😊🐩

Minden film után egyre jobban örülök, hogy rád találtam 😊 Kína gyönyörű ország! Budapestről én sajnos nem tudok eljutni oda, de veled utazok egyre szebb helyekre. Nagyon nagyon jól mutatod be, ahol jársz. Üdvözöllek, és várom a következőket ❤

[edbardoe]

We have towns in America that have renamed to get a tourist boost, but none are as spectacular and deserving of a visit as this one! Thanks as always.

Great Film Work Yan, I loved the White Yak, Im a breeder of Zebu Cattle, it was quite a treat to see this animal, beautiful scenery up on terraced farming plots, with wonderful village housing, its amazing what you see from your Golden Eagle Drone, keep your self covered with warm jackets, all those deep valleys & High Mountains are rather cold at times, it seems its Spring time up in the Mountains, the village people seem very friendly, just makes one want to be there with you, But the videos are Great, there is so much to learn in this big world of ours thank you again Yan, for these videos, Cheers & Best Wishes, Regards Trevor.W.Bacelli.
