How many guns does it take to shot Hu Ge? In Shangri-la, actor Hu Ge gets tough and becomes first a thief and then a soldier.

This time, the two meets again in the Yunnan district of Shangri-la, and the main female lead shifts from Bai Bing to Wang Keli. Also joining them is local Yunnan singer-actor Zhaxi Dunzhu.

Although Shangri-la appears serenely beautiful, even it  cannot escape from the turbulent wars outside. Although it begins as a tale of love and family, Shangri-la takes the viewers on a journey that moves beyond the paradise of Shangri-la to face the realities of life.The drama begins to air on CCTV on May 6th.
