Go deep in Lijing: Hiking team completes 25-km route

A team called "pangolins" recently spent two days and one night completing the 25-kilometer Tiger Leaping Gorge hiking route in northwest Yunnan’s Lijiang city.

Known as a "top 10” hiking route in the world, the Tiger Leaping Canyon lies between two mountains of Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang and Haba Snow Mountain in Deqing, northwest Yunnan.

The elevation difference of the canyon can be as much as more than 3,900 meters, and the narrowest part of the river is only about 30 meters. The hiking route is breathtaking, appealing to hikers from home and abroad.
