Shangrilá: Chinese travels round the Tibetan borders.

ABC: ABCD (July 1, 2006)

"The meeting with the truth does not make to eliminate the meeting with the legend, and on having walked us for these pages and having penetrated in the misty mountains of the Nosu, where place still stays for the magic cities, fog kingdoms and jade, and lives that preserve the spell of the simplicity, there goes out to our meeting the intact mystery of one of the least well-known regions of the country of the dragon..." "... The intimate tone invites us to continue the reflections and the experiences of the author as if we were present at the proper trip, like silent partners, taking part with him of every step and every open world..."

Mariano López, in Traveling, comments:

"It is a fascinating book, which brings us over to a myths world at the edge of the disappearance, and it is the only book because it is sincere, direct, clear, with more doubts than certainties and a curious and moved, proper look of the best of the travelers. In Shangrilá, Ceinos brings us over to the ground of the only men who believe in a god to whom they never pray, because they know that he hates the humanity. It takes us also to the impenetrable region of the tribes who venerate the white stone; to the matriarchy of the Moso..."

Pilar Rubio, in Seven Leagues:

"the author offers us an extraordinary history of a long trip for the western borders of China. The target is to show us the truths and lies of the ethnic group Nosu to which they steam up gloomy legends. He is not an any traveler, Pedro Ceinos can give voice to the peasants of the villages of the Yunnan foreign still to the big economic bloom of the big metropolises of China. His calm tone, the fascinating real experience and the almost anthropological knowledge of the remote indigenous populations, do of him an emotive and outstanding testimony."

Fernando Lozano:

"I would like to congratulate you because you have been able to join a very poetical prose, strangely beautiful for what estila today, with the concept of histories of trips, which if in the form he reminds me to that of the English adventurers, in your case goes further away, so I am thinking about seeing in your trip to the interior of China, a trip to the interior of us ourselves, of which a major proper knowledge will go out."

Michol Gonzalez:

"I have thought often to tell you what I liked Shangrilá (I am not sure that it is well written), was a delight to read it, not only for the content that certainly seemed very interesting to me since nothing knew about this topic, but and especially for the extraordinarily written that it is and the moments so fantastic that it has made me happen."
