Tiger Leaping Gorge Photos: Trip Moments

Tiger leaping gorgeTiger leaping gorge is a amazing place to see and go. In between Lijiang and Shangri-La about 1.5hra drive, I got a tour as couldn't drive as a tourist and a taxi there is a bit much. The river is strong and powerful through this area making for a a spectacular sight, the place is busy with tourists but you have enough space to take a photo or videos of the river. There is a lot of steps down and back up I if you can't handle it, you can pay extra to use the escalator which I found strange to pay extra for, I walked it up, overall 1.5hrs there is enough but I could watch it all day. Would be number 1 on the list of places to visit in Yunnan .#yunnanSimoBibi10

A Peaceful Jaunt Through Lijiang 🙏If you are travelling to Yunnan then it’s likely that Lijiang is on your list. A common combination is Kunming to Dali and then on to Lijiang where you will find a quiet mountain town that provides a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle and beginning many day treks, including Tiger Leaping Gorge. There was a surprising amount of trendy little hostels and boutique hotels to choose from in the town and plenty of restaurants. After lunch or dinner, make sure to take a walk around all the beautiful little side streets and alleys and stop off at one of the quirky little cafes for a drink. I had been told that this place gets really busy however i experienced the complete opposite. It was quiet and amazing! Much more chilled than the busy and bustling streets of Dali! Maybe i just got lucky 🤷♂️ #mountainview #villageJacksjollies29

🐅 Trek to Tiger Leaping Gorge 🐅#newyearadventure Tiger Leaping Gorge in Yunnan is a spectacular piece of nature. Sweeping cliff edges, insanely powerful water flow amongst a backdrop of huge mountains really is a sight to behold. You can choose to go directly there by bus or you can do a mammoth 2 day trek, stopping for the night around the half way point (an incredible hotel with views you can only dream of!). The trek itself is pretty tough and depending where you start, can take up to 12 hours so leave with plenty of time to get there for sunset. Getting down to the gorge is also pretty tough on the body but there is an insanely cool ladder that you can climb if you want to add a bit more adventure to your visit! The trek was one of my Yunnan highlights and i’d recommend it to anyone but don’t underestimate it, its not an easy one! Good luck! 🤜🤛Jacksjollies17

Must hikeA place most expats in China have probably been to at some point. A truly breathtaking spot which is actually quite easily accessible. This is a hike with astonishing nature, gorgeous views and amazing scenery. It's not a particularly challenging hike either and the route is usually split over two days to make it even easier. The stay over point is aptly named 'Halfway'. If you're lucky and the sky is clear you can get amazing night sky views. Lots of animals roam around here. And the sweeping hills are awe inspiring. Before you start hiking you can check out the raging river if wish but expect tons of people. Bring cash as there's a chance you'll lose your phone signal. And a waterproof coat as the weather can turn quickly #china #hiking #mountainview #outdoor #asiatrip #yunnanJoe041212
TIGER LEAPING GORGE-OUSHow to get there: Foreigners can't book their bus tickets in apps, it's advised to go to Lijiang Bus Ticket Office and book your ticket a day before which cost 75 yuan.There is only one bus at 9:30am everyday. It takes about 2hrs to get at Tiger leaping gorge ticket purchase office where the driver will drop you off and you can buy your tickets for 45 yuan. Get back in the bus and a few minutes some guy will check your tickets. If you are planning to get to Tina's the next day(this is a guest house where you can buy tickets back to Lijiang or to Shangri-La) you can tell the driver to drop your bags there. Drop off at Qiaotou where you can get a car up the hill to NaxiWaGe where the upper trekking route begins, from here on just follow the signs. It took me about 6hrs to get to halfway on the first day.Dr Flo15

Lijiang Ancient Town- A step back in time.Getting There - Lijiang ancient town is located roughly 35-40 minutes from Lijiang airport by taxi. Attractions - For me, the best thing to do during the day is explore. I enjoyed getting lost and taking photos of the old town. To the north is Shuhe and Baisha ancient towns, which are less touristy and a little quieter. Around the towns are plenty of things to do, such as mountain top shows, the tiger leaping gorge, hiking and a few museums. Hotels - There are hotels to suit all budgets. There's an Intercontinental on the edge of town for luxury, or you can spend as little as 50rmb per night for a perfectly comfortable room. Food & Restaurants - If you love hot pot, you'll love the selection. There's also a wide variety of street food as well as buffet style restaurants. Shopping - If it's silver or leather you want, you'll be spoiled for choice. There are also many shops selling traditional Naxi clothes #yearofrabbit#newyearadventure_We***1115

Best Hike in China 👀🇨🇳 Tiger LeapingMyself and a group of friends competed the Tiger Leaping Gorge hike in July 2022. We started early 6am with a taxi from Lijiang to the start of the walk. From there we walk for about 5hrs to our hotel for the night. The Tea-horse Guesthouse, I’d highly recommend staying here the views were incredible and the food was delicious. At the time the hotel also had access to a local swimming pool and is exactly what we needed after a day of walking. The following day we completed the walk in about 4hrs, the got the bus from Tina’s Guesthouse to Shangri-la. it’s a must do if your in China. #2023travelwish #chinaJakempp36
Eye of The Tiger!Tiger Leaping Gorge was WILD! Hands down one of my favorite sites in China! The gorge is breathtaking and the surroundings were unbelievable! There’s no way to describe the magnitude of it. If you’re driving into the park (which is what we did), rather than taking the hiking trip, it can be done as an afternoon journey. There’s no need to buy bus tickets unless you want to go further up the mountain. SO worth the drive! I’ll never forget it.KadeeChi5

Winter Blue at Tiger Leaping Gorge#wintergetaway #china #tigerleapinggorge You’ve probably seen the pictures of Tiger Leaping Gorge. Roaring brown rapids crashing through the valley and a similar roaring sound coming from the hoards of tourists. Well, if you want a more peaceful and yet, in my opinion, a similarly stunning view, go during Winter season. During this time, the water is lower but still ferocious, and instead of the brown silt, the water is a cool and clear blue running off from MeiLi snow mountain.HereComesTheSun16
Tiger leaping gorges !Very good place for hiking ! The view is amazing and the temperature (October) is perfect. You can hike during 2 days and stop in some guesthouses.Tom-FR4

The famous Tiger Leaping Gorge in Lijiang is beautiful to see and trail waking nearby up the hills is fun too. The sound of the gorge water is exciting.
Come to Tiger Leaping Gorge, play is the heartbeat. Tiger Leaping Gorge is one of the deepest canyons in the world. It originated from the Jinsha River of Qinghai Gradandong Snow Mountain and traveled thousands of miles to this point. The west side of the canyon is Haba Snow Mountain and the other side is Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The vertical drop from the top of the snow mountain to the river is close to 4000 meters. The altitude difference between the next two gorges reached more than 3596 meters, creating a rare wonder of strange, dangerous, steep and beautiful scenery. The two sides of the canyon are like sharp axes and sharp, steep and dangerous, and the water is scattered with the river and the river rushing to take the road, and the thunder from the river and the boulder fight is ringing by the ears. It's a worthwhile trip!
Going admiringly, the Jinsha River was originally very quiet, like a jasper lying in the canyon, but here, because the canyon is deep, the boulders in the river are hindered, and the roar of the earth is shocking. Awesome.
Yunnan famous tourist scenic spot Tiger Leaping Gorge, majestic and magnificent.
The tiger leaping gorge during the flood season is worth seeing! The river is raging and shocking! In addition, there is an elevator that is particularly friendly to the elderly and children!
What a beautiful, spectacular, and shocking canyon, one of the most beautiful canyons in the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin! Worth enjoying
