Today is New Year's Day, get up early check-out, we are ready to go on foot Tiger Leaping Gorge, and then at night the town is not living in the bridge back to Lijiang, and tomorrow may be able to intercept the car to Zhongdian, Shangri-La my dream.

4 individual packages of 200 yuan a taxi set off to Tiger Leaping Gorge to the Shek Kwu ago we first look at the famous "Yangtze First Beach." It is 50 kilometers away from the Old Town of Lijiang, the Jinsha River here, turning over 180 degrees, red cliff of the numerous open Hairo block, turned northward, forming the famous "Yangtze First Beach." Naxi language called here the "assassination Pakistan", which means Tigers flower Department or the Tiger family. Lijiang, the Yangtze River First Beach is not only a major scenic spots, but also access to scenic spots and Three Parallel Rivers Laojunshan scenic throat powerhouse. The history of Zhuge Liang in May crossing Lu, Kublai leather-beam cross the river, are choosing this place as a crossing. Anti-Japanese Red Army north, march to the Shek Kwu, but also cross the river this.

Less than an hour is up, as if we are to the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River First Beach-deserved reputation, the Jinsha River water Po of the 180-degree turn northward flow into the Liulin Wanli is a composition of land, water around the mountain to weigh, scenery, such as painting. Here the river wide, Jiangliu open flat, riverside Liulin, such as band, there are the endlessly rising peaks of the surrounding mountain range stretches Yunling surrounded with Pingchou fertile fields, villages, Vacherie connected, and indeed as the driver said to enjoy here, "small Jiangnan" in the world.

We climb down the road from the hillside to the floodplain, Wanleyihui also climb. A pure entered the car only to find the body and backpack full of the kind of very sticky plants can shoot can not afford to, and only continue to hand them a twist to the cob. Because going to Tiger Leaping Gorge, so we no go "Yangtze River First Beach" next to the Shek Kwu town, which is due to the town side of white marble sculpture of the drum-shaped stone its name.

About 1 hour drive to the bridge the town (of the Zhongdian County), is at noon, it looked for a hotel, to lay down their luggage, and good taste of the meal and began to go Tiger Leaping Gorge.

What is Tiger Leaping Gorge? Jinsha River from the "Yangtze River First Beach" suddenly swerved flow of about 40 kilometers north, entered between the Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, chuanshan cut rock, Pichu one of the world's deepest narrowest of the most dangerous of the Grand Canyon - Tiger Gap jump. (Many people say that the world's deepest, but I had an article on the see that it is the world's third), cross peaks over 3000 meters above the surface of the river, its potential thriller Qijue, in the tiger jumped at the entrance of the Jinsha River, there is a huge rock lying middle of the river rapids from the rock only 30 meters wide on both sides of the flow is not wearing off, the skies Ocean Waves, whitecaps roll, rock legend Tiger jumped across the middle of the river often rely on so called Tiger Leaping Gorge. River about 30 km-long canyon, actually fell more than 200 meters, the river, the narrowest is only 30 meters, where the Jinsha River shows an unstoppable heroic.

We intend to walk away from the tiger in the tiger jump jump section of Tiger Leaping Gorge Tour, there are two options: one can take advantage of car travel to see the focus, effort and rapid; the other is on foot across, can walk Haba Snow Mountain trail can also walk gravel roads, and carrying out the taste of the beauty of Tiger Leaping Gorge. We think pretty much the same place where ordinary visitors must have the best scenery, so I decided to take the gravel road. Tiger Leaping Gorge on the tiger jumped into the whole gorge, the tiger jump tiger jumped the next three sections, the most spectacular scenery in the tiger jump, its most important landscape is the "Gap" and "Tiger jump stone." Our main goal today is to jump on the tiger.

Tickets bought at the bridge, (30 yuan), the vehicle to open lines for a while, we get off, and follow this simple gravel road all the way forward, in the middle had a brief drizzle down the array, but it is because this Field rain, we have actually encountered a rare glimpse of the rainbow, also I used the camera down, really lucky.

We have been left along the canyon hillside of gravel road you along the way from time to time wooden Alert "in front of a dangerous, be careful the mountains falling rock fall", the road is full of deep gorges scenery, look down, the Jinsha River explicit small , contralateral side of the mountain steep, almost cliff, but repair of a road, opposite the person looks very small, carefully to see the road at the top of the steep cliff, there is a vaguely see also revised the ancient plank road, We are at the roadside, exhausted all its efforts into the river throwing rocks and dropped opinions on shadowless, and can not see nor have I heard. You can watch all the way on the road on both sides of the Haba Snow Mountain and the Yulong Snow Mountain in Mountain View, today the sun flickering, when the sun shines into the snow-capped mountains on both sides when the cloud top shrouded in snow-capped mountains, the sun shining through the snow-capped mountains on to become Silver white, suddenly becomes pale red.

I told Xiao-hu go faster, stop from time to time to photography, pour do not feel tired. Some walked more than two hours, almost gone by 8 --- 9 km on is the stirring of the "tiger jumping stone" of the.

We stopped along the stone steps Rotary has been down to the riverside, walked down the stone steps the process, no river smell waves, far from Stone will be able to feel the tiger jumped the momentum that takes away people, rapids roar reverberating in the valley, the Tigers & Dragons have a feeling everyone's heart in the flicker. Down after you see a soul-stirring picture of a great water potential, surging, only twenty to thirty meters of the narrow middle of the river was lying a stone to cut into two rapids, the river roaring din diarrhea In the meantime, unparalleled adventure, quite spectacular. Tigers can really leap off by this piece of rock, so only the name of Tiger Leaping Gorge. A layer of whipped waves surging volume of the river level, the impact of the tiger jumped stone, blue, or just a calm river, where white spray became arouse, "roll up 1000 snow" feeling can be aroused everyone's Hao-yung of the gas,-ism, is lofty.

Reading tiger jumped stone, to crawl back into the top of the gravel along the stone steps, be difficult, and hundreds of steps, we walk take a rest, we will sit down and pant up a non-stop, A strange thing is just plain walking elements have been lagging behind, this time climbing down the stairs got first.

And then forward the Council, has reached more than 16 o'clock, and the back to go, and we returned along the road and remember there are 9 km to go a bit numb heart. Move very quickly bored when the mountain Gao Han Jisheng, yet there are 3-5 echo sound came. Walk about more than one hours had gone half the distance, and there are cars arrived at the Beijing Jeep around us, the driver let us get on the train, we ask how much money, the driver said that up to you to go too hard, and very much admired, not money. Hee hee, on the train had!

Back to the hotel, we stayed on the town bridge, and we all feel tired enough today, so after dinner or playing cards, tractor drag on drag go to sleep until almost 1:00.
