"In the spring of 1925, standing on the Sichuan border, I faced two roads: go directly to Qinghai, or transfer to Gannan." The famous American Austrian explorer and anthropologist Joseph Locke described it in his diary, and eventually he The latter was chosen. This choice allowed Locke to discover an Eden park hidden in southern Gansu. After years of tranquility, Zhuoni became the Shambhala forgotten. When I first heard the name of "Zoni", I mistakenly thought that it was the name of a beautiful Tibetan girl. When I really went through it, I found that the beauty here is more fascinating than the girl. Being drunk is not only me waiting for ordinary people, but also the legend of the industry like Locke. 1924, Locke was entrusted by Harvard University to visit Zhuoni, Gansu. He lived here for more than two years, became a close friend with the local toast, and wrote a 46-page feature for National Geographic magazine based on what he saw and heard. It is the inside of "The Living in the Temple of Zhuoni Lama", which inspired James Hilton from China in the future, and imagined a place called "Shangri-La" in his "Disappearing Horizon".
