Leap into the 'Tiger Leaping Gorge'

❤️Recommended Reason: The Tiger Leaping Gorge (Shangri-La section) has the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain on its southern bank, with its main peak reaching an altitude of 5596 meters, and the Haba Snow Mountain on its northern bank, with an altitude of 5396 meters. Constrained by the high mountains on both sides, the river narrows to just over 50 meters wide after entering the gorge, and at its narrowest point, a tiger or leopard could leap across, hence the name Tiger Leaping Gorge. The gorge is located on the upper reaches of the Jinsha River, with a total length of 17 kilometers and a winding path of 25 kilometers. With a vertical drop of over 3900 meters, it is one of the deepest gorges in the world. It was once blocked by a landslide, but today large boulders remain, making the water's momentum even more surging. 🌟Highlights: At the place where the water flows most rapidly, the sound of the water is deafening, truly awe-inspiring. For those who do not wish to hike, there is an elevator available, which is divided into three sections, all of which are quite long.
