Updates!
If you know me well, you probably know that I have already been to Yunnan, China. It's actually my company retreat. My boss wanted to reward us for our hard work that we had put in during the event and thus, she decided to sponsor us for the whole trip. We each just had to fork out $500.
We had to take the plane to Kunming, China before taking a transit to Shangri-La.
Some photos taken in the airport.
Finally, we reached Shangri-la after around 8 hours!!
The godson of our boss came to the airport to pick us up.
Shangri-la, with the meaning of ‘the sun and the moon in the heart’ in Tibetan, was first appeared in the novel Lost Horizon written by James Hilton in 1939. Reputed as the ‘Eden in dream’, Shangri-la is well-known for its steep gorges, majestic snow mountains, crystal lakes, mysterious ethnic villages and attractive conservation areas.
Shangri-la County locates at the place where Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan meet, with an average altitude of over 3,000 meters.
Okay, the short introduction explains the title of my entry. Shangri-la is said to be the place closest to heaven.
Took some photos upon arriving in the town where our hotel is.
Our room!
We were treated to dinner by my boss's friend after checking into the hotel.
After having our sumptuous dinner, we went touring around the town.
There were many people dancing in the parade square and we joined them. However, we got breathless only after dancing for a few minutes due to the high altitude.
After that, we just had fun walking around the town.

Back to the hotel, my boss finally arrived and there was a band to receive her. Hahaha.
