Tiger leaping gorge hiking guide

Walking in the Tiger Leaping Gorge is full of challenges and passions for many young people, and it is more of an exciting feeling, leaving young people with regrets. Tiger Leaping Gorge is steep and unnatural, but from a distance, it is still so thrilling. This is a guidebook for hiking in Tiger Leaping Gorge.

While waiting for the bus at Lijiang Bus Terminal, an old woman next to me called me "little brother", which I understand means handsome. It was eight o'clock in the morning, and I bought a ticket to Tiger Leaping Gorge at half past eight. Ticket price, 24 yuan. Half an hour before departure, I chatted with my grandmother. She comes from Weixi, and her home is on a high mountain. It takes two hours to walk west from Shangri-La County to Weixi County. Her home is in the mountains, so she has to walk for more than two hours. On this trip, she went to Kunming to see a doctor alone, and then came back alone.

Grandma's car leaves an hour later than mine. After saying goodbye, she came to the crowded bus. Walking in Tiger Leaping Gorge, most free travellers choose to take minibus, which is cheap and convenient. Lijiang passenger station has it every day. If you want to reach the "midway inn", the base camp of the hiking route that day, you'd better take the one after 8: 00 in the morning.

It takes the garage more than two hours to reach Qiaotou Town (namely Hutiaoxia Town). This bus is more like a tourist line. The driver will tell the tourists where to get off and walk, then book a seat with him and return to Lijiang the next day. If you don't leave, the bus will take you to Shanghu Jump, Zhonghu Jump and Fox Man Jump. Each point will wait for an hour or two, and then return to Lijiang at 3: 30 in the afternoon. This time is also the return time for hiking on the high road. Since most hikers are foreigners, the driver will communicate with them in simple English, explain relevant matters and give a hiking route map with his personal phone number on it.

Whether walking or not, the bus will be sent to the ticket office of the scenic spot first, and all entrants need to buy tickets. Ticket price, 45 yuan. It's three kilometers from the ticket office to the starting point of hiking. Here, the driver will tell you the return time tomorrow again. I followed a French couple out of the car and went hiking, which officially started.

When I first started hiking, there was a sign on the roadside that was not particularly obvious.

This is the starting point for hiking. A mottled signboard is surrounded by blooming roses, which is very romantic. The initial journey was a highway. Due to the construction, the road surface was pitted and dusty when vehicles passed by. Therefore, when hiking in Tiger Leaping Gorge, we must choose a good season and try to avoid the rainy season from May to 65438+ 10 in Yunnan.

On the way through a village, houses with Lijiang characteristics look like imaginary seclusion.

Starting from here, it's really uphill.

The hiking route of Tiger Gorge High Road was initiated by foreigners in the last century and enjoys a high reputation abroad. Geographically, the Jinsha River runs from north to south. When passing through Haba Snow Mountain and Yulong Snow Mountain, the terrain of the two mountains suddenly contracted, and the narrowest place was only a few meters, so the tiger could jump over it, hence the name. The two snow-capped mountains are located on the plateau, with steep cliffs, no grass growing in the high places, huge drop and great momentum, which can be felt all the way on foot.

Tiger leaping gorge is divided into upper tiger leaping, middle tiger leaping and lower tiger leaping. There is a road by the river. The so-called Tiger Leaping Gorge hiking trail is a mountain road parallel to the road, with a vertical distance of one or two kilometers and a steep slope above the vertical wall. Because the line is very mature, there are signs along the way, but some signs are not obvious because of the wind and rain. When crossing the intersection, pay more attention and beware of going wrong.

Looking back at the mountain road, you can overlook the Jinsha River.

Under the action of clouds, light and shadow activities are very active.

Light and shadow change, and nature's masterpieces never disappoint. The road stretches under your feet, and you are extremely tired. You can stand in the distance and see the scenery everywhere.

It takes more than three hours to walk a mountain from Qiaotou Town. The first point on the way "Naxi Accord Inn" will appear in front of you. Naxi Accord Inn is located in a small village in the mountainous area. In this season, the fields around the house are full of crops, green and like heaven. this

We went to the village with praise. There are several tall Chinese Toona trees at the entrance to the village. The yellow leaves of Toona sinensis look dreamy against the blue sky and white clouds. When we arrived at Naxi Accord Inn, it was already 1 30 in the afternoon, and some hikers had already rested in the inn. I hardly met China people along the way, but I met many Spaniards, French, Germans, Americans and Koreans, as if I were abroad.

In the village where Naxi Accord Inn is located, you can see the Yulong Snow Mountain in the distance over a hill.

After lunch, I thought it would take five or six hours to get to the halfway house, so I didn't dare to stay. Out of the village, against the snow-capped mountains. Soon I reached the legendary "28 turn". The winding path on the plateau is quiet and secluded, lacking oxygen, which is quite difficult. I walked down by myself and didn't find it too difficult.

At the entrance of the village, from here, you will soon reach the famous turn 28.

Needless to say, the beautiful scenery all the way, the clouds on the opposite Yulong Snow Mountain, scattered and gathered. There is a poem brewing in my heart: the cloud is the snow on the mountain and the snow is the cloud in the sky. After 28 turns, we successfully reached the Yaku Point Pass. Then there is a smooth road and a downhill road.

Hiking Tiger Leaping Gorge, from Qiaotou to Naxi Accord, the scenery is average. After Naxi Accord, the scenery was overwhelming. After crossing the fork in the road, the mountain road is narrow, and the roadside is an abyss, which is quite thrilling. The stone kicked while walking fell into a bottomless canyon, and people who are afraid of heights can't move.

The Jinsha River is looming, with a huge gap.

After walking for more than an hour, Yongsheng Village came into view. There is also the Tea Horse Inn, which is the last stop of the halfway inn. Some people will choose to stay here for one night because of fatigue. Under normal circumstances, it's past five o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still more than an hour's journey from the halfway inn. You must get there before dark. If you are not sure, it is more appropriate to spend the night.

When entering the village, a group of goats blocked the way and were not afraid of people. Instead, we were a little timid and walked past them carefully. The middle-aged woman who is herding sheep said that there are more than 80 sheep in her group, and herding sheep every day is her main job and a very considerable source of income.

Although there are many villagers building houses and making inns in villages along the way, it is difficult to constitute the main income from the number of people walking. Moreover, the popularity of this route has made many hikers go straight to the inn, Naxi Accord, Tea Horse Inn and Midway Inn on the Raiders.

Yongsheng village, there is also a scenic spot, you can stay in Chama Inn.

Go ahead and get out of the Tea Horse Inn by a cement road. Go straight along the cement road, and then go straight into the narrow path at the fork in the road. I took the wrong road at the first intersection and turned into a mountain road. Fortunately, the direction is right. I met a shepherd on the mountain, and under his guidance, I returned to the right path.

This section of the road from Ma Inn is also magnificent. The path is relatively flat, there are many rocks and weeds, and many lives are born in the desolation. Walking in it is like a lifetime ago.

Finally arrived at today's destination, the halfway house. The village where the inn is located is called local bay, and there are dozens of houses on a hillside. The local villagers lived here for many years, and then we came. Stay here, the halfway house is very famous, the boss has a good English, and he receives foreigners all the year round and has practice. There are stars hanging on the front wall, such as Victoria Song and ZhangFeng yi. The price of the halfway house varies from 150-300.

Of course, the exciting super viewing terrace of the halfway house is indispensable. After ordering, the hikers all sat on the terrace and looked at Wannian Cliff, which was quite imposing. At this moment, the setting sun reflected on the snow-capped mountains and dyed the snow golden. The howling wind on the terrace makes people wrap their clothes tightly. Foreigners can't ca.

I fell asleep soon after supper. On this day, I walked from 10:30 in the morning to 19:30, and was detained for an hour while eating. The approximate walking time is 7 or 8 hours, which most people can do. Therefore, this is a domestic classic hiking route worth visiting.

Where most hikers live: the halfway house.

The next day, at nine o'clock, I left the halfway house and continued to go to Tiger Leaping. This is a downhill journey through a flat road. The journey lasted for two or three hours, which was relatively easy. The road is still on the cliff, and the scenery is beautiful. There are many confrontations between life and death on the road. Some trees are growing and some trees are dying. The sharp contrast is very poetic.

Leave the halfway house the next day and move on.

The road is blue, the mountains are far away with few people, the ancient road is long, it is desolate everywhere, and the snowy mountains are steep.

Abandoned houses are resting places for hikers, idle clouds and solitary trees.

The two mountains are sandwiched by Tiger Leaping Gorge.

On the way down the mountain, many people took teacher Zhang's strategy. I didn't notice the sign on the road, so I walked all the way to Shenchuan Bridge. Look at the map, or you can continue walking from the mountain until you reach the end of the hike, Shanbaimian Inn. Because I was going back to Lijiang in the afternoon, I gave up and walked off the tiger jump. It is said that the scenery of jumping tiger is average, and you can decide your own itinerary.

Tiger Leaping is not a regular scenic spot, but a mountain road dug by local villagers. It's dangerous to get off at any intersection. You should walk slowly and carefully. Divided into three sections, each section was dug by different villagers. Therefore, each of them charges. If you want to take these roads by the river, you need to buy three tickets, none of which are expensive. 15 yuan. Especially after you pass by, you will find how difficult these roads carved on the cliff are.

As for the scenery, I think it doesn't matter whether you see it or not. Going down to the river, you can't see it in the picture. If you have the strength, you can spend two hours going back and forth. You won't lose much if you don't look.

Down to the river, you can see the Pentium Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Tiger leaping gorge is very narrow.

The villagers planted red flowers.

There will be a supply station on the way. The local villagers set up several simple sheds to sell some water, specialties and the like. From the chat, we know that we can't earn much money in a day. There are few fields in these canyons. I think that without the development of tourism, the local people will have fewer sources of income and their lives will always be difficult. Maybe they don't understand that we came all the way here to suffer, but they welcome us.

On the edge of a shed on the edge of the cliff, the local people planted a kind of flower, which bloomed in the sun and became the only touch of red in the desolate canyon, showing the sexiness of life. Behind this, there is a poem, which is behind the daily work of the villagers and is quite touching.
