The book of the world has read another page: Tiger Leaping Gorge

Tiger Leaping Gorge, the "First Gorge of the Yangtze River", Located on the east ring line of Tiger Leaping Gorge Town, Shangri-La City, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Tiger Leaping Gorge is one of the deepest canyons in China, and is famous for its "surprise, wonder and danger". It is divided into the Shangri-La section and the Lijiang section, of which the Shangri-La section includes the Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge, the Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge and the Lower Tiger Leaping Gorge. There are many reefs in the gorge, 21 dangerous rapids, 7 waterfalls as high as 10 meters, and 10 waterfalls. The Yangtze River is held between the two snow-capped mountains of Yulong and Haba, with a height difference of more than 3,900 meters. The canyon is one of the deepest in the world, with the narrowest part being only 30 meters. According to legend, a tiger descended from the mountain and just lifted its foot slightly on the rocks in the river to fly over the river, so it was called Tiger Leaping Gorge. 🚉Transportation strategy: It is a one-day round trip from Lijiang to Hutiao.
