tiger leaping gorge


Tiger Leaping Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2003, is one of the deepest and most magnificent gorges in the world. Nestled in Yunnan, China, it offers breathtaking views between the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the Haba Snow Mountain. The gorge is steeped in legend, named after a tiger that is said to have leaped across its narrowest point to escape a hunter. With a drop of 3,900 meters from the mountain peak to the river bed, it presents a challenging and exhilarating experience for hikers and nature enthusiasts alike.
