Breathtaking Testament to Nature's Power

#yunnanspots
🌟Tiger Leaping Gorge is more than just a canyon; it’s a living, breathing testament to the raw, untamed power of nature. My visit was a profound experience, a feeling of awe that comes from standing between two towering snow-capped mountains and listening to the thunderous roar of one of the world's most powerful rivers. This isn't just a scenic spot; it's a challenging adventure and a serene retreat, all in one. This is a must-visit for anyone who wants to witness a truly grand geological masterpiece and experience the sheer force of the natural world.
📌Location: Tiger Leaping Gorge is perfectly situated on the Jinsha River, which is the upper part of the Yangtze River. The gorge is nestled between the towering Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, and is accessible from both Lijiang and Shangri-La. The main entrance is at 54Q7+QH2, Shangri-La City, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, Tiongkok. Its location is a major part of its allure, as it’s a living testament to the city's rich past and a key component of the Intramuros experience.
💸Pricing: Tiger Leaping Gorge offers excellent value for the depth of its cultural and spiritual significance.
• Entrance Fee: The admission fee for the main scenic area is a very reasonable 45 yuan (around $6.50 USD). This single ticket covers access to all the main viewing platforms and hiking trails.
• Additional Costs: An electric shuttle is available for an additional 25 yuan inside the park. This is highly recommended to efficiently explore the different lakes and viewpoints within the valley, as walking the entire length can be time-consuming.
