About

Tiger Leaping Gorge  is about 50 kilometres from the World Heritage site of Lijiang's  Old Town . Roughly 15 kilometres in length, the gorge was carved by a river passing between the massive  Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (which reaches up to 5,596 metres) on the Lijiang side and  Haba Snow Mountain  (5,396 metres) on the Shangri-La side. The stunning result is a series of rapids at the foot of steep 4,000-metre cliffs, making it a contender for the world's deepest river canyon.
