    "Tiger jump, "Tiger Leaping Gorge" on the Nu River. It should be two boulders rolling down the high mountains on both sides, just in the middle of the river, the river surface here, instantly narrow, the water flow is rapid, rumbling. The tiger leaping gorge on the Jinsha River is only a boulder, and it is triangular, and the tiger may not stand stable. Here are two pieces, and it is very flat. It should be easier to jump over. In fact, the best look is the observation deck, the boulder, along the cliff, there is a plank road to the shore, from the bottom to the top, this boulder is drum-like, the person above is like a small black spot."

    "Luoshui Lover Beach in Yunnan, Wuhu, did not expect that in the deep mountains of this plateau, there is still such a beautiful "beach" hidden. When I came to Lover Beach, it was far from the crowds, and only three or two tourists quietly enjoyed the tranquility and pleasantness of the lake and mountains. The lake is blue, like an endless ocean, and the shoreline is rough sandy beach. Along the coast is a pair of lover trees, which is a declaration of faithful love, "If I love you, I will stand with you as the image of the tree. Roots, gripped underground; leaves, touching in the clouds." This is probably the most beautiful description of the lover tree."

Here, the rolling Yangtze River was blocked by the cliffs and turned into a "V" shaped big bend, which formed the famous Yangtze River First Bay. The surface of the river is as smooth as a mirror. The two sides of the river are the green hills, the neat farmland and the villages and towns in the south of the Yangtze River. It is amazing to have this view on the plateau.

    "Milk Sea is located in Aden Village, Shangri-La, Daocheng County, Sichuan Province, far from Chengdu. If you want to see the milk sea, you need to hike in the mountains at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. It is basically impossible for people with high anti-physical weaknesses to see the Fangrong. The milk sea belongs to a plateau lake and is crystal clear."
    Daocheng

    Highlights: Milk sea, also known as Luorong Cuo, is located in a hollow at the foot of Yang Maiyong Mountain, a sacred mountain in Yading, Baocheng county. It is an ancient glacial lake shaped like a water drop, and is named Milk Lake because there is a circle of milky white calcium sediment by the lakeside. The only ways to get from Luorong Pasture to Milk Lake are by walking or renting a horse from a horse caravan on the pasture. Because of its position relatively high above sea level and rugged mountain paths, the route requires good physical condition and you should pay attention to your safety when proceeding.
