Tiger Leaping Gorge + Lashihai Wetlands + Baisha Ancient Town + Naxi Village Private Tour

We provide Private Tours specifically for Foreigners

1 Day Tour from 8am to 6pm (Flexible Start)

Dive deep into the Shocking charm of Tiger Leaping Gorge, unlocking the breathtaking allure of the Yangtze River's most perilous gorge——a place renowned as one of the world's deepest and narrowest canyons. Here, the Jinsha River roars and surges, flanked by the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain standing tall on either bank, offering a majestic view of the 3,900-meter elevation drop that takes your breath away. We'll pick you up from your hotel and drive to this natural wonder, where the journey itself is a delight: along the way, you'll not only encounter the grandeur of the First Bend of the Yangtze River, watching the river twist sharply here, but also stumble upon hidden gems nestled between mountains and waters.

Exploring the Heart of Tiger Leaping Gorge

Spend the day immersing yourself in Tiger Leaping Gorge, freely exploring its diverse sections:

Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge: The iconic "Tiger Leaping Stone" is a must-visit. A massive boulder juts out into the river's center, where the surging waters crash against it, creating towering white waves. Legend has it that a tiger once leaped across the river using this stone, blending danger with thrilling vitality.

Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge: Discover the raw charm of "One-Line Sky" and the "Sky Ladder". A steep plank road winds along the cliff face, with the roaring river below and a narrow strip of sky visible between the towering mountains above. Every step feels like a dance between nature and courage.

Scenic Stops & Local Flavors

The journey is dotted with perfect spots to rest and savor the moment:

River-View Café near the First Bend of the Yangtze River: Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the full view of the "V"-shaped river bend. Order a cup of local small-grain coffee, watch sunlight sprinkle golden sparks across the water, and listen to the owner share old stories of riverside villages.

Naxi-style Eatery near Tiger Leaping Gorge: Try the signature "river-side grilled fish"——fresh fish from the Jinsha River, charred over charcoal and coated in Naxi chili powder, crispy outside and tender inside. Pair it with a bowl of "chickpea jelly", tangy and spicy, to refresh you after hiking.

Farmhouse Tea Break in villages along the way back: The host will brew home-dried snow mountain cloud tea, served with freshly baked wheat cakes. Sit in the courtyard, soak up the sun, and gaze at snow-capped mountains contrasting with rural fields, savoring the slow pace of life.

Optional Extensions (Flexible After Gorge Visit)

If time allows, explore Lijiang's surrounding treasures on the return trip:

Black Dragon Pool Park: Ancient Ming Dynasty architectures reflect perfectly in the pool, forming a stunning symmetry with the distant Jade Dragon Snow Mountain——a photographer's paradise for capturing the mountain's reflection.

Baisha Ancient Town: An ancient Naxi settlement and birthplace of the local Mu Family Governors. Wander cobblestone streets, where blue-and-white tie-dye fabrics flutter in the sun, casting dappled light. Step into the Mu Family Embroidery School to watch intangible cultural heritage artisans at work, or browse unique handcrafted items in local-run shops.
