Shanghujiao Gorge, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Shangri-La

The Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge is the most turbulent section of the Tiger Leaping Gorge River, with a relatively wide view. In the middle of the river stands a giant rock, which is said to have been leaped over by a fierce tiger, hence the name Tiger Jumping Stone. The Tiger Jumping Stone lies across the current like a high waterfall standing before you, splitting the rushing water into two, with waves crashing thunderously, and the water and rocks colliding, resembling a roaring tiger that is deafening; the mist sprays onto your face, allowing you to feel the coolness of the water and the vitality of life.
