It is divided into 3 parts:

The water in this area is very fast-flowing
The river is only 50 meters wide
After flowing into the gorge
The narrowest part is only 30 meters wide
This gorge is 15 kilometers long
🐅 If a tiger comes down from the mountain
It can jump across
By jumping across the river
At the narrowest point, it is 25 meters wide
Because in the middle of the river in this area
There is a rock called "Tiger Leaping Rock"
The rock is more than 13 meters high
So it is the origin of the name "Tiger Leaping Gorge"
🐅 To travel down
You have to buy a ticket for the escalator to go down because it is very deep
Price up and down 70 yuan (about 350 baht)
Or if you like to walk and enjoy the atmosphere

About 2,000 steps
At the bottom there is a long bridge along the river
Walk to the end and there is a bell tunnel, very beautiful
There is a tiger statue which is a landmark
