Hello Chandhima,

Lovely blue, great reflections and good pov to capture the Dong architecture and the bridge. But the sky is not the best and ruins much of the effect of the shot.

The term 'Shangri-La' was officially granted to Zhongdian (Yunnan) in 2002, as this name attracts tourists. Since then, the name has popped up in countless other places in China. It means nothing, really. Any 'real' Shangri-La does not exist.
