千里共婵娟 Sharing the same moonlight in a thousand miles
喜洲
Xizhou
一首千古传唱的白族民谣《白月亮》道出了洱海先民拜月之风，白族是月亮的属族，是月亮之子，世世代代以白子自居。
The folk song "White Moon" tells us how generations of Bai people worship the moon for thousands of years, regarding themselves as the moon’s descendants.

香格里拉
Shangri-La
香格里拉，藏语意为“心中的日月”，这里是人间天堂和世外桃源。有些藏族人不过中秋节，有些藏族人盛行供月节，但是藏族人都崇拜月亮，藏族英雄史诗《格萨尔王传》将格萨尔称作“白月亮”。
Shangri-La, which means "sun and moon in the heart" in Tibetan, is a paradise on earth. Not every Tibetan celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the Tibetan heroic epic, "The Legend of King Gesar," introduces King Gesar as the "white moon".
