Revisiting Tiger Leaping Gorge, a self-driving and hiking adventure from Lower Tiger Leaping to Upper Tiger Leaping

Tiger Leaping Gorge, doesn't the name itself sound mysterious and thrilling? As a major attraction in Yunnan Province, it is definitely worth a visit! Years later, I returned to the Tiger Leaping Gorge that I had longed for. Unlike the past, this time I chose to drive and hike, starting from Lower Tiger Leaping, through Middle Tiger Leaping, and finally reaching Upper Tiger Leaping, experiencing the breathtaking canyon scenery along the way. 🚗 Driving along the winding mountain roads, starting from Lower Tiger Leaping, the mountains are stacked, and the canyon is deep. 🍃 🍽️ Arriving at Middle Tiger Leaping offers a different view, where you can find a scenic restaurant to enjoy lunch facing the canyon, intertwining the magnificent scenery of the canyon with the satisfaction of good food, nice. 🌈 🚶‍♀️ Then heading to Upper Tiger Leaping, after arriving at the scenic area, I chose an easier route—the escalator that goes directly down to the scenic area for hiking. tips Now there is an escalator in Upper Tiger Leaping that goes straight to the bottom of the canyon, which is undoubtedly a huge blessing for those who just want to enjoy the canyon scenery without wanting to walk too much! 💪 🎉 Must-visit spots in Tiger Leaping Gorge 💥 First of all, of course, is the famous Tiger Leaping Rock! 🐅 This giant rock seems like a masterpiece of nature, lying across the Jinsha River. It is said that a tiger once leaped over the river using this rock. Just imagine that scene, it's so cool! Here you can feel the surging river water, as if you can hear the breath of nature. 🌅 The Jinsha River Grand Canyon, with its deep canyon and steep cliffs on both sides, the river water surges and roars, creating spectacular canyon scenery. Standing on the viewing platform, overlooking the entire canyon, it feels like being in a huge painting, intoxicating. 🚶‍♀️ If you like outdoor sports, then hiking along the canyon, feeling the charm of nature, and challenging your limits will also be an unforgettable travel experience. 💦 I heard that a reservoir is going to be built in Tiger Leaping Gorge, and the scenery of the gorge may not be as magnificent as it is now. So cherish the beauty in front of you, and if you haven't been here, hurry up and come take a look. 📷
