This is (one of three) regions in western Sichuan and Yunnan provinces "officially" designated Shangri La. This one (in the Daocheng area) is a beautiful valley at an elevation of about 4100m giving spectacular views of three "ice mountains" which rise above 7000m. Sadly the weather on the two days I spent there was awful, so I didn't get any of the great shots I hoped for. Still, maybe there will be another time.
