Mr. James Hilton portrayed a classic tale of Shangri-La - the Lost
Horizon, if you have already read it and wanted to believe it, you should
take this trip to see how people there live stress- free and in
moderation. Then you could answer the question "is moderation in a happy,
stress- free situation better than a world where we feel great passions
but also endure periods of unhappiness?" We arranged this itinerary for
people who would like to experience some totally different lifestyles
which may provoke deep thought.
