Waking up on the cliff of Tiger Leaping Gorge, I understood the meaning of "majestic mountains and rivers"

Originally, I planned to stay at the most recommended halfway point in Tiger Leaping Gorge, but then I saw this newly opened Moye Snow Mountain Cliff Hotel and decided to give it a try. This place is really perfect for those who don’t want to plan or fight for scenic spots to check in. You can pay for the scenery + relaxation. 🔸 Lying in bed, you can see the golden sunlight on the mountain. 🔸 For meals, the butler asks about dietary restrictions and dining times in advance, so when you sit down at the restaurant, you can eat hot food. The dishes are quite homely but taste good, and the terrace location is really great. 🔸 Any requests are responded to quickly, unlike being in the wilderness. It perfectly captures the romance of being "isolated from the world." The outdoor bathtub is embedded on the edge of the cliff, but when we went, other areas were still under renovation, which was a bit noisy, so we didn’t try the bathtub this time, but the view was still okay. It’s worth mentioning that the privacy here is excellent, with each room having an independent view, not disturbing each other 🧚🏻‍♀️ After experiencing the high trail hike during the day, here you really feel another kind of beauty of Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge

🌿✨ Adventure in Yunnan: Tiger Leaping Gorge 🏞️ Nestled between the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain 🏔️ and Haba Snow Mountain ❄️, Tiger Leaping Gorge (虎跳峡) is one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited. The moment I arrived, the air felt crisp and pure 🌬️—a refreshing escape from the busy city life. Standing at the viewing deck, I could hear the roar of the Jinsha River (金沙江) echoing through the valley 🌊. The sound was wild and powerful, like nature’s heartbeat 💓. Legend says a tiger once leaped across this narrow part of the gorge 🐅—and honestly, standing there, I could almost imagine it happening! The hiking trail was challenging but unforgettable 🚶♂️💪. Every step offered a new angle of the river cutting through cliffs thousands of meters deep. I stopped many times just to soak it all in—towering mountains above, raging water below, and clouds drifting lazily between them ☁️⛰️. Along the way, friendly locals smiled and greeted me 👋, offering yak butter tea 🫖 and small snacks. Their warmth made the journey even more special. By the time I reached one of the viewpoints, the sun was setting, painting the mountains in shades of gold and pink 🌅. It was one of those rare travel moments when words simply aren’t enough. As I looked down at the furious river, I felt tiny yet deeply alive 💫—a reminder of how powerful and beautiful our planet truly is. 🌍 If you ever visit Yunnan, don’t miss this place. Tiger Leaping Gorge isn’t just a destination—it’s an experience that stays with your soul. ❤️✨ #Yunnan #TigerLeapingGorge #ChinaAdventure #NatureLover #TravelDiary 🏔️🌊🇨🇳

Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge

Tiger Leaping Gorge, Diqing Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province Tiger Leaping Gorge, world-renowned for its dramatic drop in elevation, is located east of Tiger Leaping Gorge Town in Shangri-La County. It is divided into three sections: Upper, Middle, and Lower Tiger Leaping, stretching approximately 20 kilometers. The Jinsha River lies in the middle of the gorge, flanked by the Yulong and Haba Snow Mountains. The river's narrowest point is only 20 to 30 meters, yet the dramatic drop creates a turbulent flow. Tiger Leaping Gorge is also a world-renowned hiking destination, attracting thousands of outdoor enthusiasts each year. Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge is the most visited section. Entering the area from the Shangri-La section requires descending a 100-meter stone staircase. Below, a viewing platform with a transparent floor offers stunning views of the river and Tiger Leaping Rock. Entering from the Lijiang section requires a 2.6-kilometer plank road, which is relatively smooth and offers diverse views of the Jinsha River. Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge is approximately 5 kilometers from Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge. The dramatic drop in the river's surface creates a spectacular spectacle. From Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge, you can cross a slippery slab to enter Lower Tiger Leaping Gorge, a 1-kilometer-deep ravine near the exit of Tiger Leaping Gorge. This is the perfect spot to admire the gorge.
