TIGER LEAPING GORGE
This 15 km gorge is located along the Yangtze River between Snow Mountain Dragon Jade of about 6000 meters and Haba Xueshan Mountain of 5.300 meters, in China, where passes rapidly under a series of spectacular cliffs 2000m.
The gorge owes its name to a legend that says that a tiger once jumped the narrowest point of the gorge to escape a hunter (it is still 25 meters). Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of the deepest canyons in the world, is a beautiful and scenic hike for adventurous hikers. To see the Yangtze River squeeze through two mountain ranges is a sight you will never forget; not just does it take your breath away, it leaves a part of its beauty in your mind and life.
The road is well kept and takes hikers on a 14-mile journey with different mountain views featuring an astonishing variety of micro-ecosystems, waterfalls and even guest houses where hikers can stay along the road. Apart from the life-transforming awe of just being outside there and seeing all those intricate details woven together by nature.
SHANGRI-LA
A visit to Shangri-La is the last part of this trip, and you cannot afford to miss it for the world. In the Tibetan language, Shangri-La means "the sun and the moon in the heart," an ideal house that can only be found in the sky. There are high and constant snow mountains, endless meadows, steep valleys, blue lakes and rural towns. This grand place lit up magically at sunset and the break of dawn.
