TIGER LEAPING GORGE

One of the deepest gorges in the world, it drops almost 13,000 feet from the mountaintops to the water's surface, although it is only 10 miles in length. Running between Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the Haba Mountains, the mighty Yangzi River (known as the Jinsha River at this point) surges past spectacular scenery.
