China: Diqing Tibetan Region Reopens to Foreigners
By Larry Habegger | Permalink |While Tibet remains closed to foreign tourists, the Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan province reopened to all visitors April 10 after being closed for almost a month. The region is home to the tourist resort of Shangri-la, a place formerly known as Zhongdian but renamed in 2001 to cash in on the fabled secret land from James Hilton’s 1933 novel Lost Horizon. Local Tibetans call the area Gyalthang.
