Talk:Shangri-La (disambiguation)

Okay, if this is going to be a diambig. page, is the author planning to move all the other uses of the word from the Shangri-La page? Otherwise, this page is useless. Quill 03:15, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

New Guinea valley
So the book Lost in Shangri-La is about some folks who crashed a plane in a valley on New Guinea which was unhabited by uncontacted peoples and had only been discovered by the West in 1944. It was called Hidden Valley and Shangri-La by Westerners. Apparently it was in Netherlands New Guinea, now Papua (province) in Indonesia. This 1998 report from one of the rescuers marks the valley as "about 120 miles south of Hollandia (Jayapura), just about in the middle of New Guinea", somewhere near the source of the Fly River. The book (limited excerpts) mentions a village called Uwambo, of the Yali people. I would like to map the valley and village, either to modern names, Wikipedia articles, or geographical coordinates, but am having difficulty doing so. Wikipedia says the Yali live east of the Baliem Valley, and that this was discovered in 1938. If anyone can plot this valley more precisely, your help would be appreciated. -- Beland (talk) 19:53, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
