Shangri-La is full of flowers nowadays

Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. Hilton describes it as a mystical, harmonious valley, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains.
In China, the only county-level city in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture is called Shangri-La, an earthly paradise, because of its gorgeous scenery and long history.
Entering the April, flowers in Shangri-La are awakened by spring light rains. Plum and peach flowers in the city and parks are contending in fragrance and fascination, colorfully decorating Shangri-La.
Pink peach flowers are now in bud and appear vividly, which looks like a traditional Chinese brush drawing.
The buds of azalea joint the riot of colour too, making photographers satisfied, relax and happy.
While the sun still shines and the breeze feels warm, go and find the Shangri-La you are looking for.
