Zhong Dian, China

Zhong Dian's tourism administrators claim the region is the "Shangri La" from James Hilton's book Lost Horizon (see book reviews for more about this classic novel). The comparison is altogether ridiculous but the town is a very nice place to spend a couple of days. Here's a few pictures from the town, its monastery and a nearby lake. Photos again courtesy of the lovely Jen Gill.
