TOUR OVERVIEW

A route that works on the ground

Over 2 days, 2-Day Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Escape links Lijiang to Tiger Leaping Gorge with Upper Gorge Scenic Walk. Drive through the upper Yangtze valley, meet the local hiking guide and settle into a gorge-side guesthouse. At Lijiang to Tiger Leaping Gorge, expect about 4–6 kilometres of walking between the principal landmark, its surrounding streets and the closest useful viewpoint. Follow safe viewing paths to the famous narrows and Tiger Leaping Stone, with walking adjusted to current access conditions. A village noodle lunch or fried potato plate fits the hiking day, and the guide points out the changing layers of Jade Dragon and Haba mountains at each rest terrace. The route is best suited to travelers who prefer a private guide, a named set of sights and time for a proper meal in each place, with the daily emphasis on landscape, village context and unhurried outdoor time. Altitude, road access and mountain weather are reviewed locally, and a walk can be shortened when conditions change.
