To his surprise, he discovered that the valley people were descendants from the Valley of the Blue Moon. He met in the Jokhang Temple a Tibetan girl, who brought him to an unknown valley. The author, residing in Scotland for many years, four times travelled to Tibet to search the myth of Shangri-la.
