Hiking the Great Tiger Leaping Gorge

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

bpacker 1892 reviews

Most folks use Lijiang as a base before proceeding to Qiaotou to do the greatest hike in China. Set aside at least 2-3 days to do the hike in Tiger Leaping Gorge and avoid the rainy season at all costs.

Equipment: You need to have really good gore tex boots and a hiking stick for this activity. The rocks there can be bloody slippery after a rain and a missed step can be fatal.

Tiger Leaping Gorge

Hiking in this beautiful landscape is an absolute must! Specially the old trading paths along Tiger Leaping Gorge are ideal for hiking. It is possible to hike several days along the Gorge with the possibility to stay over night.
