Tiger Leaping Gorge is considered one of China's best hiking areas for its perfect adventurous and off-the-beaten routes, rustic Naxi culture, and sheer gorge scenery. The scenery is spectacular, and it deserves its renown as one of China's best hikes.
It is on the way from Lijiang (2 hours by car) to Shangri-La (3 hours by car) in Southwest China's Yunnan Province.
Tiger Leaping Gorge is one of the deepest canyons in the world, with a good path high above the Yangtze River, to get away from the throbbing roar of the river, and inexpensive accommodation along the way.
Winding around 22 km (14 miles) in total, Tiger Leaping Gorge provides various hiking routes, including something to meet most hiking levels. Trekking for a half-day, one-day, or two days is available based on your preference.
