"Shangri-La Adventure Tour - I saw the raging waves in Tiger Leaping Gorge."

If you like adventure, come to Shangri-La and check in at Tiger Leaping Gorge. Tiger Leaping Gorge is located in the canyon area of the Jinsha River Basin and is one of the famous natural scenic spots in Yunnan. The steep terrain and legendary stories are the main reasons for its fame. Tiger Leaping Gorge is about 17 kilometers long and is divided into three sections: Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge, Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge, and Lower Tiger Leaping Gorge. Among them, Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge is recognized as the best viewing spot. The unique fault structure of Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge has become the best place to watch Tiger Leaping Gorge. Every year during the rainy season, the river surface is narrow, the river roars, and the water flow is swift. The rapids are splashing and the attack power is endless. The scene of the raging waves is embodied here. It is said that a tiger once used a huge stone called "Tiger Leaping Stone" Jump across the canyon in one fell swoop. This story also adds a bit of mystery to Tiger Leaping Gorge. Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge also offers a variety of ways to play. You can choose to walk and experience the momentum of the river rushing down. You can also take the sightseeing escalator "Pingbu Qingyun Ladder" to easily reach the scenic spot and overlook the panoramic view of the entire canyon. Tiger Leaping Gorge is not only a tourist attraction, but also a pilgrimage site for global hiking enthusiasts. It is also known as one of the "Top Ten Classic Hiking Routes in the World". Along the winding ridge, you can see the snow-capped mountains, canyons, and rapids. This route can not only enjoy the challenge and fun of hiking It also brings the maximum visual feast
