Shangri-La (桃(とう)源(げん)郷(きょう)) is a dungeon that was constructed by the Doll Master to be an artificial spring paradise, and now situated in the Kingdom of Belzerg.

Overview

Looking like a peaceful and idyllic Chinese garden town where, according to Kazuma, celestians would wander among the pavilions and peach trees growing by the lakeside, the whole dungeon is actually an artificially created environment. Natural terrains like bodies of water are fashioned out of glass, and the peach flower trees are but plastic models bearing fruits that are made of building blocks. Even the people and animals who live there are nothing but decorative mannequins or manipulated marionettes, much like the doll copies of Kazuma and his party. Monsters still roam the place, though some of them are synthetic replicas that were animated by magic.

Originally a wandering dimension that follows wherever the Doll Master goes, it finally settled down in the western wastes of Belzerg after Kazuma and his party retrieved the magical stone.

Trivia

• The literal translation of the dungeon's name is actually "Peach Spring Land", based off the Chinese story Peach Blossom Spring.
