The Land Of Peach Bllossoms

Have you ever heard about the Land of Peach Blossoms - Shangri-La? The famous writer James Hilton of England published the famous book, Lost Horizons, in 1933. The place the book described is called Shangri-La, the land of Peach Blossoms. Many people have wondered if there Shangri La really existed.

80 years ago, Joseph Rock, a botanist from America introduced this place to the world. In an essay in National Geographic Magazine he wrote, "There is heaven in this world. There is an old land of heaven and earth.”

Let me talk about the story to you. Naxi is the last nation in China. A special tribe lives there. The name of the tribe is Moshuo. It is very special because it is a primitive matriarchal society. We call it the Women's Country.

Men and women do not get married but they can have many different mates. Maybe you are amazed.

“How about their children?” you may ask. Rest assured, if a woman has baby, she will bring up the baby until he/she is grown up. When they are about thirteen years old, their mother will tell them who their father is. The child and its father are can them become acquainted.

If you have chance to travel to the Land of Peach Blossoms and if you are a man maybe you will fall in love with a girl. You will only be able to visit her you at midnight, and you will have to sneak into her room through the window. You will need to be very careful so no one catches you.

Don't forget to bring three things. A piece of pork, a cap and a knife.


Do you want to know why? I'll tell you next time.
