Shangri-La (zh-cp|c=心中的日月|p=xīnzhōng de rìyuè) is the 10th album of Taiwanese-American R&B artist and composer, Wang Lee-Hom, and was released on December 31, 2004. In this album, Lee-Hom incorporated the often unheard music of the Chinese ethnic minorities and therefore began the first chapter of "chinked-out", a term he coined together to repesent the ties between Chinese and Western music. He experimented with the tribal sounds of Taiwan, Tibet, and Mongolia, traveling the area carrying 15 kg of equipment while fighting bouts of altitude and food sickness.

Lee-Hom continued the "chinked-out" spirit with a second album release, called "Heroes of Earth" and it was released on December 30, 2005.

About the album

In this album, Lee-Hom began the first chapter of "chinked-out," a term he coined together to represent the connection with both Chinese and Western music. He incorporated the often unheard Chinese ethnic minority music, which includes Mongolian, Taiwanese, Tibetan, etc. into modern hip-hop melodies. For the production of this album he traveled all around China with heavy equipment to collect these rare pieces of music.

His reasons behind the title of this album is also well thought of. Shangri-La is another meaning for a mythical paradise. Translated in Chinese, Shangri-La means 心中的日月, which is literally translated as the heart's sun and moon. When Lee-Hom arrived to the district of Shangri-La, he was immediately absorbed into the astonishing and unique music he had heard and therefore named his album, Shangri-La, or, Xin Zhong De Ri Yue.
