Tiger Leaping Tour

Lijiang is proud to be the home of the well-renowned tiger-leaping gorge. Straddled between Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, the gorge is a 15-kilometre trek and is one of the longest, deepest and most treacherous of its kind across the globe. Local folklore claims that the gorge acquired its name because a tiger leapt over its swirling waters at its narrowest point in order to reach the riverbank opposite.

The Wenhai Trail

For the adventurous, explore the Wenhai Trail as it extends deep into a sub-alpine valley with altitudes of 3,000 metres above sea level. Cradled within a sea of verdant foliage, the lake disappears in early spring and returns only with the rainy season. The highlands surrounding the area play host to a wide variety of plant and animal life, including protected raptors, forest wildlife and traditional medicinal plants.

Yuquan Park

Yuquan Park has a number of charming monikers, including Black Dragon Pool Park and Jade Spring Park. Settled in the base of Xiang Mountain, find pleasure playing within beautiful Chinese gardens, running among willow trees and taking pictures by the waterfall.
