玛吉阿米，一个美丽女子的名字，六世达赖喇嘛仓央嘉措心目中救度母女神的名字。而今，穿越时空，在西藏，她是八角街的黄房子，著名的藏餐厅，世界各地旅者在西藏的家；在北京，她是都市的空间里，鼓荡起的一股雪域的风；在云南，她是“香格里拉”的窗口，她会带您走进心中的日月……让我们一起走近云南，走进玛吉阿米·香格里拉风情宫，让更多的人通过这里了解了天边那个神秘的香格里拉。

Makye Ame does not attempt to summarize:Tibetan Culture.Instead.it gives expression to it from deep in our hearts,thereby conveying the Tibetan people's joys and sorrows as we as our desires and aspirations.

I often wonder if we could find ways to let more people get a real picture of Tibetan culture in their daily lives rather than just in academic works,and thus familiarize themselves with some of itsmore intrinsic features and join us in carrying it forward.

It is an undeniable lacl thai Makye.Ame has introduced many enigmas to its customers,as they are constantly posing queslions.We can only solve the puzzles involving Tibetan culture by revisiling our history.
