[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This spot is called "Red Grass Pond" in English, located in Shangri-la area between Yuinan and Sichuan province of China. Actually the name Shangri-la is firstly found in a novel called "The Lost Horizon" written by James Hilton in early 1930. Chinese provincial government changed the name of this area into "Shangri-la" in late 2002 after an exploration for finding a similar place as shown in the novel.
The altitude of this place is about 3,500m above sea level and about 300km away from Zhongdian, Yuinan province.
