The map
Shangri-La sits at about 3,200 metres in the Dêqên Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of northwestern Yunnan. The town was called Zhongdian until 2001, when it took the name of the imaginary valley from James Hilton's novel. It lies in a wide basin surrounded by mountains, with grassland and wetlands around its edges.
The old town, Dukezong, is a small cluster of winding lanes and timber houses around a hill topped by a large prayer wheel. Much of it was rebuilt after a fire in 2014. The newer town extends around it in wider, straighter streets. To the north, Ganden Sumtseling Monastery climbs a hillside in tiers.
A Shangri-La map poster shows a compact town in a vast setting. The irregular lanes of the old quarter, the grid of the newer streets and the open land beyond fit together into a quiet, well-balanced composition.
Narrow, winding lanes form a dense cluster at the heart of the town. On the map they contrast sharply with the more regular new districts.
North of the town, the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan rises on a hill. Its compact layout sits apart from the main street network.
Around the town, open grassland and wetlands take over. This leaves wide, calm space on the poster and emphasises the high-altitude setting.

Why Shangri-La
Shangri-La attracts travellers to the Tibetan plateau, trekkers and people with ties to Dêqên. The map is a memento of a place that feels far from everywhere.
Edit the title, subtitle and coordinates, perhaps to record the date of a trip or the altitude. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand.
