'''Shangri-La''' is a casino district located on the western outskirts of the capital. Originally a neighborhood for low class laborers the 2010's casino boom has radically transformed Shangri-La. Around one hundred large casinos and thousands of Abachinko parlors and gambling dens are currently in operation, employing over a third of Shangri-La's three million inhabitants. The illumination from the casino lights is so strong that visitors to the district have reported temporary blindness and damaged retinas, something that has been collectively dubbed the ''Manzhouli effect'', after the main street of Shangri-La. Crime is a pressing concern in the district, the casinos and associated entertainment venues being a hive of scum and villainy where everything goes; from human trafficking and drug trafficking to racketeering and murder for hire. Shangri-La has gone through fourteen police chiefs in the last five years. A large proportion of the city's [[Zorfashazi]]m Jews live in the district, the Agudat Kol Shofar synagogue serves the religious needs of this community.
