Shangri-La’s Tiger Leaping Gorge: A Canyon Adventure

In the morning (7-8am), our driver will pick you up at the designated place, and then we will take 1.5 hours to go to the First Bend of Yangtze River Viewing Platform located in Shangri-La to take photos and have a short rest. The Yangtze River rushes down from the “Roof of the World”, the Tibetan Plateau, and enters Yunnan from Batang County, where it runs parallel to the Lancang River and the Nujiang River and crosses the high mountains and deep valleys of the Hengduan Mountains, forming the magnificent “Three Rivers” landscape. In the village of Shasongbi in Shangri-La County, the river suddenly turns more than 100 degrees to the northeast, forming a rare V-shaped bend, which is known as the “First Bay of Yangtze River”.
Around 10:30, we will arrive at Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Spot, which is one of the deepest canyons in China. Here we will hike upstream of the canyon (you can also choose to pay to ride the escalator) and feel the power of nature, the strong current, the roaring sound of water... Here we visit for 2-2.5 hours.
After browsing around 12:30, we will drive to Qiaotou for Chinese lunch (Lunch time: 1 hour). After lunch, you can take a short break in the car and our driver will take you back to the hotel to end the pleasant journey.
