Do you learn about the name Shangri-La? In 1933, people in the world first knew the name Shangri-La because of a famous
1book
named Lost Horizon. In the book, Shangri-La is a beautiful place. People there live a
2happy
and peaceful life. Interestingly, in China, there is a(n)
3real
Shangri-La.
Shangri-La is
4in
the north-west of Yunnan. It has blue skies, sweet flowers,
5clean
rivers and lakes, and tall mountains. People
6say
it is the most beautiful place in the world.
However, in the past, Shangri-La was not very
7easy
to get to. It is in the deep mountains
8and
has very complicated terrain(复杂的地形). In 1639, Xu Xiake, a famous traveller in China, wasn't able to
9get to
the place because the trip would be too dangerous. Even in modern times, people could
10
only
get there by plane or by bus. The shortest bus trip would
11take
over 3 hours.
Luckily, on November 26, 2023, the first railway to Shangri-La was
12opened
. The railway connects(连接)
13it
with Lijiang, another beautiful city in Yunnan. The railway is about 139 km long. People can travel between the two
14cities
in just about 80 minutes. Isn't it great? Thanks to Lijiang-Shangri-La Railway, more people are able to
15enjoy
the beauty of Shangri-La and the people there can live a better life.
