What to expect at Tiger Leaping Gorge

Lijiang Tiger Leaping Gorge is 17 km uzunluğunda ve başlangıç noktası 200 m bitiş noktasından daha yüksek. Başlangıç noktasında, nehirin ortasında devasa bir taş var ve taş ile kıyı arasındaki mesafe yaklaşık civarında 30 m. Kaplanların bu taşla bir taraftan diğerine zıplayabileceği söylenir, bu yüzden Lijiang Kaplan Zıplayan Vadisi böyle adlandırılmıştır.

Kaplan Zıplayan Boğazı dikliğiyle ünlüdür. İlk olarak dağları, Boğazın her iki yanında yer üzerinde dik duran yüksek dağlar. Dağ zirvesi aşağı 3,000 Nehir yüzeyinden metreler yüksektir, Chongqing'deki Üç Boğaz'dan bile yüksektir. Bunun sayesinde derinliğini görebiliriz. Aşırı yüksekliği ve az genişliği nedeniyle, the river flowing is in fast speed with splendid sightseeing like high waves and fogs prevalent in the air.
