What you will see in Shangri-la 三座白雪覆盖的高山——梅里、白芒 和哈巴——巍峨屹立，其白雪皑皑的山顶 构成了一幅美丽的图画，没得让你无法用语言形容。

山脚下，阳光照在星罗棋布的湖面上，使它们在富丽乡村景色的映衬下，如钻石般闪耀璀璨。成群的牛羊和马儿在绿色的草原上徜徉，周边的森林则是众多鸟类和动物的家园。在这片宁静的土地上，人们和大自然和谐相处，远离外界的喧嚣和烦恼。

4. Nature has provided Shangri-la with endless natural treasures, making the land a happy home for the local people. 大自然为香格里拉提供了无数的自然宝藏，使得这片土地成为当地人民的幸福家园。 【分析讲解】 这是一个简单句，making the land a happy home for the local people是V-ing短语作结果状语。V-ing短语还可以用来表示条件、原因、时间关系等。
