Tiger Leaping Gorge (Hutiao Xia), Yunnan, China

4.5 (1.199 reviews) Thursday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Yunnan Canyons

Must do

A place most expats in China have probably been to at some point. A truly breathtaking spot which is actually quite easily accessible. This is a hike with astonishing nature, gorgeous views and amazing scenery. It's not a particularly challenging hike either and the route is usually split over two days to make it even easier. The stay over point is aptly named 'Halfway'. If you're lucky and the sky is clear you can get amazing night sky views. Lots of animals roam around here. And the sweeping hills are awe inspiring. Before you start hiking you can check out the raging river if wish but expect tons of people. Bring cash as there's a chance you'll lose your phone signal. And a waterproof coat as the weather can turn quickly

Amazing Gorge!
World Heritage site, a magnificent gorge. You can get as close as the riverbank and experience the power of the river at this point. Even though it was not high season, there were many cars at the entrance and it took quite some time to get in (not too many parking spaces). Depending on the weather it could be closed to the public. We were just lucky as it started to rain heavily after we visited and the following days it was closed. In any case, it´s worth seeing it. If you go further away, passed the tunnel by the car park, you can actually see very good scenaries and the end of the gorge (not so many people go past that point)
