Tiger Leaping Gorge

#yunnanspots Tiger Leaping Gorge (虎跳峡) is one of the deepest and most spectacular river canyons in the world, located on the Jinsha River (a tributary of the Yangtze) in Yunnan, China. Carved between the towering Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, the gorge is famous for its dramatic cliffs, roaring rapids, and breathtaking hiking trails. Legend says a tiger once leaped across its narrowest point, giving the gorge its name. Adventurers flock here for challenging treks, while the thunderous waves crashing through the narrow passage create an awe-inspiring natural spectacle, making it a must-see for nature lovers and thrill-seekers.
