【Tiger Leaping Gorge】

Tiger Leaping Gorge China's second most beautiful Grand Canyon

Tiger Leaping Gorge is located in Shangri-La, about 80 kilometers away from Shangri-La and Lijiang, and generally choose to start from the ancient city of Lijiang. The Jinsha River abandoned its flow here, and suddenly encountered the Haba Snow Mountain and the Yulong Snow Mountain, and the originally calm river became furious, because the tiger crossed the boulders in the middle of the river and crossed the river, thus becoming the Tiger Leaping Gorge, which is the largest canyon in the Yangtze River, standing on the plank road, looking at the turbulent river like a tiger dawn and dragon roaring, which is frightening. Steep mountains, rushing rivers, if you keep staring at the river, dizziness suddenly hits your heart, and you can't help but admire the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

Opening hours: 8:00-1700, suggested play time: 1.5 hours.

The stone tiger that was ready to jump just in time for the name of the Tiger Leaping Gorge. I have been to many places this year, and the one I will never forget the most is the Tiger Leaping Gorge, and the sound of the torrent like a tiger roaring and a dragon roar really shocked me. Rocks pierce the air, waves crash against the shore, roll up dry snow, do you think it would be more beautiful if it was winter?

[Pudacuo National Park]

If Shangri-La is the last pure land on earth, then the quiet and distant Pudala is the myth in the pure land.

Pudala Forest Park is relatively high, and there may be high reactions depending on the person, so be sure to bring an oxygen cylinder.

Don't mess with the cattle in the park, they are stocked by local herders, they are not so friendly to unfamiliar people, so they are too close to them so as not to be intimidated

Pudala is mainly composed of three scenic spots, belonging to Duhu Lake, Militang and Bita Sea. There are tour buses between each scenic spot to pick up and drop off tourists, and the tour bus needs to be paid at your own expense.

The

filming location of the TV series [Sito] has the world's largest prayer wheel, which is full of scriptures, and it takes more than 10 people to turn it together, which is very interesting.

There are also prayer flags dancing in the wind in the park, and the thousand-year-old town is built on the mountain, revealing simplicity and sophistication everywhere. Witness the devout beliefs here and the glory of the ancient tea horse road town.
