Lijiang Must-Visit! Tiger Leaping Gorge+White Water Terraces Day Tour [Ticket&Private Car]

Lijiang Must-Visit! Tiger Leaping Gorge+White Water Terraces Day Tour [Ticket&Private Car]

Your journey begins with a pickup from your chosen hotel within Lijiang City at your selected departure time, followed by a drive to the parking lot of Shangri-la Tiger Leaping Gorge, where you need to handle relevant ticket matters by yourself.

The Tiger Leaping Gorge is located in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River, straddling between Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain. It is one of the deepest gorges in the world. Renowned for its "perilousness, uniqueness, grandeur, and magnificence," the narrowest point of the river is only 20 meters wide, with a drop of 213 meters. The roaring waves crashing against the rocks create a thunderous sound, forming a breathtaking spectacle of "raging waves splitting the shore." The hiking trail within the gorge is hailed as one of the "Top Ten Classic Hiking Routes in the World." Along the way, snow-capped mountains, turbulent rapids, and deep gorges intertwine, offering a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty.

After visiting Shangri-la Tiger Leaping Gorge you'll be driven to White Water Terraces (includes tickets but excludes tour guides) .

The White Water Terraces are located in Sanba Township, Shangri-La City. They are China's largest cold spring-type freshwater carbonate travertine terraces, situated at an altitude of 2,380 meters. Due to the decomposition and precipitation of calcium carbonate in the spring water under sunlight, layer upon layer of white terraces have formed, resembling "terraced fields left by immortals" and earning them the reputation of being the "Chinese version of Pamukkale." This place is the birthplace of Dongbaism, the indigenous religion of the Naxi ethnic group. The annual "Chao Baishui" (Worshiping the White Water) ritual, held on the eighth day of the second lunar month, has been carried on for centuries, boasting profound cultural heritage.

This itinerary is expected to include approximately 3-4 hours of sightseeing at the two scenic areas, without a tour guide.

After the tour, you will be driven back to your original pickup location.
