At the junction of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau stands a Yunnan’s famous tourist spots, Tiger Leaping Gorge. The gorge is tucked neatly between the Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain. At the opening of the gorge, which is also the mouth of the Jinsha River, a Herculean pebble, about 30 meters wide, seems to be stranded amidst the billowing waves. In this tour, you can witness an incredibly loud, churning and foaming river relentlessly pounding giant boulders in its path.

This website is amazing! This is my first trip to China and I am so excited. I have long heard that Yunnan is a very beautiful province in China. The design of the website navigation is very clear, and the content is also very adequate, so tourists like me can quickly find the information we want to know. Besides, the website provides a detailed travel guide, including transportation, accommodation, map etc. Popular attractions are also listed out for travelers to choose. The itineraries offered on the website are as short as two or three days and as long as seven or eight days, so it is convenient for us choose according to our situation. While browsing, I was deeply attracted by Yunnan’s beautiful natural landscape. Furthermore, I have always been interested in Chinese culture. Through the website, I learned that Yunnan is a province with rich culture. It is home to the Dai people, one of China’s ethnic minorities, and has a rich variety of food, clothing and festivals… I’m really looking forward to it!
