▲ The Jinsha River flows straight down from north to south, paralleling the Lancang and Nu Rivers. At Shigu, Lijiang, the "First Bend of the Yangtze River," the Jinsha River turns left and heads east, passing between the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the Haba Snow Mountain, carving out one of the world's deepest canyons: Tiger Leaping Gorge. Tiger Leaping Gorge, a vibrant blend of snow-capped mountains, canyons, and rivers, is a key component of the "Western Yunnan Shangri-La Ecological Tourism Area," one of Yunnan Province's six major tourist destinations, and the heart of the Three Parallel Rivers natural heritage site. The scenic area boasts a vibrant mix of snow-capped mountains, canyons, rivers, and the Huaquan Terrace.
▲ Before the Yuan Dynasty, Tiger Leaping Gorge was known as Yuemiegen Pass. It was called Xueshanmen Pass during the Yuan Dynasty, Tiger Leaping Stream during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Tiger Leaping Beach during the Republic of China. Because the narrow part was so narrow that tigers and leopards could easily leap over it, it was named Tiger Leaping Gorge. In 1958, when the People's Commune was established, the name was changed to Tiger Leaping Gorge, a name that has remained to this day. The scenic area opened to the public in 1992.
