Tiger Leaping Gorge!

Tiger Leaping Gorge Hiking Guide for Beginners | Unlock Your First Hike in Life || During the Lunar New Year period in 2025, I finally completed my first hike in life—Tiger Leaping Gorge!

🌟 Itinerary:
Day 1: Lijiang - Naxi Yage - 28 Bends - Tea Horse Inn - Halfway
Day 2: Halfway - Mid-Tiger Leaping Gorge - Zhang Laoshi Inn - Lijiang
🎒 Equipment
· Backpack: I didn't buy a hiking backpack, so I carried a North Face backpack (16L), which felt insufficient in capacity
· Shoes: I used sneakers instead
· Clothes: A windbreaker is essential, and the inner layer must be quick-drying
· Other: Hiking poles, hat, sunglasses
💡 Tips
· Be sure to bring knee pads, as your legs will feel like they're not your own after two days of hiking
· The wind is very strong on the way from Halfway to Mid-Tiger Leaping Gorge, so don't take photos while walking
· There are supply points along the way, so you don't need to carry too much water and food
In short, hiking for two days in a row is really tiring, and you'll be lying down as soon as you get home, but the scenery along the way is really unforgettable!
