Is Shangri-La Hotel named after Shangri-La?

The word Shangri-La originally came from the novel Lost Horizon published by British james hilton in April 1934. In the book, there is a place in the west of China, with magnificent words, which brings together all kinds of beautiful scenery, including snow-capped mountains, glaciers, forests, canyons, dams, meadows, rivers and lakes. It is a fairyland on earth and a real paradise. Ideology, right here. People follow the principle of moderation in everything. People here admire nature, and people live in harmony with nature. It is beautiful, quiet, safe and harmonious, and it is the destination of all the beautiful ideals of mankind. Hilton said it was the last Eden of mankind and called it shangri-la. Hilton's description of this paradise is similar to the "Shambhala Kingdom" in Tibetan scriptures. The word Shangri-La didn't exist in English originally, only because this novel by james hilton means "Xanadu". Hilton imitates the pronunciation of local Tibetan. After the publication of this novel, it immediately caused a sensation in the world, and was made into a movie by Hollywood film companies in the United States, which swept the world. For decades, some explorers and travelers from Europe and the United States have come to China to look for Shangri-La, a fairyland on earth described by Hilton. Later, the Kwok Group, a Hong Kong enterprise, registered the naming right of the word "Shangri-La" and became a famous brand in the world hotel industry. In 1990s, tourism professionals and scholars in China began to look for Shangri-La. In the vast western part of China, there are eleven provinces and autonomous regions, accounting for nearly half of China's territory. Those travelers and explorers are really exhausted. Later, the search target gradually became clear, mainly concentrated in two places. According to James' description, Sichuan Province called Shangri-La in Aden, Daocheng County, Sichuan Province, and Yunnan Province called Shangri-La in Zhongdian County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. 200 1, 1, 1 On June 7th, the State Council finally approved the renaming of Zhongdian County in Diqing Prefecture as "Shangri-La County". At this point, the dispute over the naming rights of Shangri-La between the two provinces has come to an end. Zhongdian County has a "Blue Ocean Grand Canyon". One end of this canyon is called "Ge Xiang" and the other end is called "Lira". Now it is renamed Shangri-La Grand Canyon.
