The Unescapable Shangri-La | A Tibetan Inn Through the Ages
April and May are the best times to visit Shangri-La
Fewer people, beautiful scenery, and the spring of the plateau is just right
Peach blossoms in the mountain temples are in full bloom, vegetation sprouts, and the oxygen content is high
This season is the perfect time for a trip to the paradise of Shangri-La

🍃The ice and snow are just melting, and the green grass and spruce are already lush
Lying on the green hillside
Watching the cute sheep🐑 in the distance and the sky full of clouds
It's really healing...

Shangri-La Jiantang Town Jinlong Street Dalalang No. 105 (near the ancient city gate)
Zhonghu Leaping Gorge is located 7 kilometers downstream of the upper tiger jump. Because the surface area is small and it is not suitable for development tours, it is privately contracted. There are three routes from the road down to the bottom of the valley. Zhang teacher's inn is the first route, followed by the Tianti Inn is the second route. The third route belongs to another inn. If you choose to stay here, there is no separate charge to the bottom of the valley, otherwise you still have to collect money, and the bottom of the valley is also divided by three. If you want to go to other places to see if you have to pay for the road, is it disgusting? The river is narrower here, the water flow is more rapid, and it looks more shocking.
After the tiger jumping stone, entering the tiger jump is a hiking route suitable for young and young people. The main point is to guard the two mountains of the tiger jumping gorge. The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is located on the one side of Lijiang, and the Haba Snow Mountain is on the other side. The two cliffs are steep and dangerous, the vegetation stands tenaciously in the messy rock, the roaring river water is only heard of its voice, from the Jinsha River to the top of the mountain there is more than 4,000 meters of altitude difference, looking up at the two sides of the cliff is a cliff wonder, towering steep mountain, axe-cut cliff, knife-cut rock.
The deepest and fastest canyon in the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge, located between Waltaoyuan Village and Local Bay Village in Tiger Leaping Gorge Town, Shangri-La, sandwiched between Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, is the second deepest Grand Canyon in China (3800 meters), after the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon (5300 meters). Among them, the famous tiger jumping stone is located in the river in the village of Waltaoyuan, the scenic spot of the tiger jumping scenic spot. It is legendary that the tiger can use this stone as a springboard to travel to and from both sides of the Straits. The tiger jumping gorge is basically still in an undeveloped state. The best way to travel is to start from the Zhang teacher inn, and climb the Zhang teacher's homemade Baizhang ladder to and from. It takes about 4 hours. The degree of steepness and excitement can put you back in place.

Now Lijiang and Shangri-La Bus Terminal have shuttle buses to Zhonghutiao, the fare is 55 yuan, the ticket for Tiger Leaping Gorge is 65 yuan, and the online purchase is 55 yuan, but it is necessary to buy 3 hours in advance, and the temporary online purchase cannot issue tickets. The shuttle bus passed through Hutiaoxia Town and Shanghu Jump into Zhonghu Jump. There are also many hotels and restaurants in Zhonghu Jump. I lived directly in Teacher Zhang Inn. The next morning, I went down from Teacher Zhang’s Trail to the bottom of the valley. I saved 10 yuan for the toll. The observation deck on the upper and middle tiger jumping stones and the riverside had a fee of 10 yuan. I passed the ladder. Walking through the riverside plank road, halfway through the first line of the sky, I felt boring, and returned to the ladder, and went up the road from the ladder. Unlike the upper tiger jump, you can get close contact with the rushing river of the tiger leaping gorge. It feels very cool!
Many people's perception of Tiger Leaping Gorge is very spectacular, but the traffic is quite a lot, then I can tell you very responsibly, you just went to the tourist attractions that were developed, that is, many travel friends called the place of tiger jumping. The attractions to share today are tiger jumping by many foreigners, especially the hiking attractions that Koreans like. I also came here after being introduced by others, but when I arrived here, I found that there were really few Chinese. But the scenery here is very proud of me, because only China can have such a spectacular attraction. Underfoot is the constantly running rivers, and the speed of these rivers and the sound he makes is far beyond everyone's imagination, if you have been to Hukou Falls, he may not have Hukou Falls wide, but the water flow and spectacularness can definitely be comparable to Hukou Falls. There are a few precautions that need to be reminded: 1. Because the attractions are not developed by the travel company, I still hope that everyone pays attention to environmental protection, which is very important. 2. Be extra careful during the journey, because many roads are not so good. 3. Don't feel that you are in good health, want to jump down and feel it, so that you will disappear in an instant. 4. You can say hello when you meet a foreigner, especially if you look very similar to our Koreans, and they will also reply to you with an Aniha Westerno, hello.
