Begin the hiking tour to the upper section of Tiger Leaping Gorge with a 15-20 minute walk along the plank road to the viewing platform at the valley floor. The powerful currents of the Jinsha River rush through the narrow valley, with waves crashing against the rocks. Be sure to have your camera ready to capture this breathtaking view. At the narrowest point, a massive rock, 13 meters (43 feet) high, divides the torrents into two branches. The surging waves crash against the rock with a thunderous roar. A special viewing platform is available for visitors to fully enjoy this magnificent scenery and take photos.
