A complete guide to Tiger Leaping Gorge rapids and waterfalls! Just read this article

The experience of watching the rapids and waterfalls in Tiger Leaping Gorge is simply shocking! 😎As the "King of Canyons" on the Jinsha River, the roaring sound of the water here can make your adrenaline soar. Today, I will give you a super complete guide! 📍[Best viewing point] Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge: This is the core scenic area of ​​Tiger Leaping Gorge. The river water rushes in the narrow canyon, forming a spectacular scene of "ten thousand horses galloping". Walk along the plank road to the viewing platform and feel the excitement of the splashing waves at the closest distance. Remember to bring a raincoat, otherwise you will be drenched by the mist! 🌧️ Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge: Suitable for outdoor enthusiasts! You need to hike through the canyon, and you will pass through steep sections such as "One Line of Sky" and "Starry Sky" along the way. Although it is hard, you can overlook the shocking scene of the rapids rolling among the boulders, which is definitely worth the price! 🚶♀️ ⏰【Best Time】 The rainy season from June to September every year is the "peak time" of Tiger Leaping Gorge. The river water surges, the rapids are like beasts out of the cage, and the roar is deafening. It is recommended to arrive at 8-10 in the morning. The light is soft and the flow of people is relatively small. You don't have to fight for the camera position to take pictures! ☀️ 🚗【Traffic Guide】 From Lijiang or Shangri-La, it is recommended to charter a car or join a local one-day tour group. If you drive by yourself, navigate to "Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area". The mountain road is dangerous, so drive safely! 🚘 🎒【Essential Items】 Waterproof mobile phone case (essential for taking pictures), raincoat/jacket (splashproof), non-slip sports shoes (slippery plank road), a small amount of snacks and water (to replenish physical strength). ⚠️【Safety Tips】 • Strictly abide by the warning signs of the scenic area and do not climb over the guardrail! • The plank road is slippery in the rainy season, wear non-slip shoes and hold the railings firmly! • For families with elderly and children, it is recommended to go to Hutiao, which is easy and safe! #激流
