It lies between the towns of Lijiang and Shangri-La, carved by the Jinsha River (a major tributary of the Yangtze River). The gorge stretches about 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) and reaches depths of up to 3,790 meters (12,434 feet), making it a dramatic destination for hikers and nature lovers.<br \/>\nThe gorge is divided into three main sections:<br \/>\nUpper Tiger Leaping Gorge \u2013 The narrowest section, with a famous rock in the center of the river where, according to legend, a tiger leaped across to escape a hunter.<br \/>\nMiddle Tiger Leaping Gorge \u2013 Known for its steep drops and dangerous rapids, including the \u201cMantianxing\u201d reef area, which is considered the most treacherous part.<br \/>\nLower Tiger Leaping Gorge \u2013 Offers panoramic views of the entire gorge and includes ferry crossings for hikers continuing to nearby villages.<br \/>\nTiger Leaping Gorge is a world-renowned hiking destination. The most popular trail is the High Trail, which takes 1.5 to 2 days to complete and offers stunning views of the gorge, waterfalls, and the snow-capped Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain.<br \/>\nBest time to visit is during spring (April\u2013June) and autumn (September\u2013October), when the weather is mild and the scenery is at its most vibrant. The rainy season (June\u2013September) is best avoided due to risks of landslides and falling rocks.<br \/>\nLocal villages like Nuoyu Village serve as rest stops for hikers and are home to the Naxi people, who traditionally rely on agriculture and herbal medicine.<br \/>\nIn summary, Tiger Leaping Gorge is not only a natural wonder but also a cultural and adventure hotspot, offering a memorable experience for trekkers and travelers alike.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s21.ax1x.com\/2025\/10\/24\/pVX3Qmj.jpg\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3016\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tiger Leaping Gorge (\u864e\u8df3\u5ce1) is one of the deepest and most spectacular river canyons in the world, located in Yunnan Province, southwestern China.
