There are many places in the world that could offer, Shangri-La-like ambience like Malibu Creek State Park.
Watch the 1971 movie, "The Last Valley", which was filmed in Trins Tirol and you'd be spellbound. It's somewhat reminiscent of the beautiful mountain meadows shown in, "The Sound of Music", but more beautiful and breathtaking. You just wish that Heaven does indeed look like that.
(In the mythology of THE SEVEN HEAVENS, the first heaven is the lowest-ranked. It is supposed to look like Malibu Creek State Park, Trins Tirol, Kauai and Maui, Austrian mountain meadows, yada, yada, the Happy Hunting Grounds, Elysian Fields, Valhalla, etc, but is reserved for good non-Christians - the pagans - who died good. Christians go to the higher leveled Heavens and existence there is more existential. The Muslims believe Heaven is the first heaven.)
