Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of the world\u2019s natural wonders, was carved by the Jinsha River as it forces its way between the towering Yulong and Haba Mountains.<\/p>\n
Legend has it that a tiger once leapt across the gorge, which narrows to just 30 meters at its tightest point. The dramatic scenery of the rushing river and steep cliffs makes it a breathtaking spectacle, as the waters flow onward to join the mighty Yangtze River.<\/p>\n
