Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Tiger Leaping Gorge is famous for its size. It is located in the eastern part of Hutiaoxia Town, Shangri-La County. It is divided into three sections: upper, middle and lower gorges, with a total length of about 20 kilometers. In the middle of the gorge is the Jinsha River. On both sides are the snow-capped mountains of Yulong and Haba. The narrowest part of the river is only twenty or thirty meters and with the huge drop, the river flows very rapidly! Tiger Leaping Gorge is also a world-renowned hiking resort visited by many outdoor enthusiasts every year.

Other visitors' reviews of Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge
Show More ReviewsTaking my elderly father on this trip was a very enjoyable experience. Our driver, Mr. Yang, was exceptionally kind and drove very smoothly. He arranged pick-up and drop-off in advance and was punctual. He introduced the sights and shared interesting anecdotes along the way. Despite the long journey, we stopped several times to explore, allowing us to enjoy the scenery and get some exercise, making the trip less tiring. He gave us ample time to visit the attractions without rushing us, which was very pleasant. Tiger Leaping Gorge is truly breathtaking during the rainy season (July-September) and is definitely worth seeing. At Baishuitai, the uppermost platform area has the best views. I suggest not rushing to take photos when you first see the blue pools; the best scenery is yet to come. There are many beautiful pools at the top, so save your time for the most stunning views later on. Comfortable, non-slip shoes are highly recommended.
