Highlights
Renowned as one of the world’s top classic hiking routes, the Tiger Leaping Gorge High Trail is a must-visit destination for trekking enthusiasts. Despite its global reputation, the hike is surprisingly accessible—covering just over 20 km with elevations below 2,700 meters, making it ideal for beginners. The scenery is nothing short of spectacular. Hike alongside the majestic Haba Snow Mountain, gaze across to the dramatic peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and follow the roaring Jinsha River deep below. Along the way, you’ll pass through forests, cliffs, ancient trails, and waterfalls, offering constantly changing views. Tiger Leaping Gorge gained international fame through the explorations of Joseph Rock and remains a favorite among hikers from around the world. Today, it continues to be recognized as one of the highlights of southwest China, frequently featured in Western travel guides and geography publications.

About Lijiang
Lijiang is a Naxi town in north-west Yunnan, known for its canal-threaded old town and the snow peaks of Jade Dragon Mountain behind it.
The old town of Lijiang, a World Heritage Site, is a maze of cobbled lanes, stone bridges and clear canals, lined with tile-roofed wooden houses built by the Naxi people. Sifang Street is its busy square, the Mu family mansion recalls the Naxi chieftains who once ruled here, and the Black Dragon Pool park frames Jade Dragon Mountain in its still water. The Naxi Dongba script, a pictographic writing used by priests, appears on signs and souvenirs.
