Tiger Leaping Gorge

We travelled from Lijiang to Zhongdian by road through mountainous terrain which is the source of Yangzi (Yangtze), Yellow and Mekong Rivers.

The Jin Sha (Golden Sand) River that flow into the Yangzi.
Warning signs everywhere about the risks we are taking with our lives !The view was spectacular.
The English was a little confused but the message was clear,
Wide man-made tracks made walking easier but not less breath-taking.
Some resort to the use of local labourers.
The data were impressive.
Water is plentiful
Us with our Tibetan guide.
