Hi
Seems like a good start.
A bit dark, plus, Shangri-La is Tibetan so it would need mountains to tell it apart from China.

The fog implies mountains. I like the OP.
^^^ You know better than to pick an image based on trope name instead of description :) The Shangri-La need not be in Tibet specifically, mountains are nice but not vital, the clouds imply high altitude. Probably better if the location is not identifiable.

^^^That looks more like one of China's gorges to me. As for ^^, fog suggests more of the seaside.
^Huh. The trope is about locations in mountains. It's not in the name, in several places of the description.

Yes. The trope requires mountains, basically. Also "Shangri La is almost universally based on Tibet,".
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanWow. You said, exactly, that the "real" Shangri-La is in Tibet and that looks like it could be China, which doesn't matter. Perhaps that isn't what you meant but the meaning of a signal is determined by the receiver.

Yeah, upon re-reading the "Tibet" aspect is not essential. My bad for misconsidering it.
That said, we have Land of Dragons (for China) so a image that differentiates is a good thing.

Hi
Clock is set.
Should be able to find something for The Shangri-La. Here's one from a DeviantART user
