Shang Simla
'Shang Simla, China is home to people that value discipline, peace, and clarity of mind over all else. While there, adventurers are encouraged to visit the Academy to learn the Martial Arts skill, then head to the Scholar's Garden for introspective meditation. If you're lucky, you may even catch one of Shang Simla's famous fireworks shows!'
Onomatology

It is possible that Shang Simla is named after the fictional Himalayan utopia "Shangri-La" described in the novel Lost Horizon.
