One of the most spectacular stretches of nature in China can be enjoyed by walking through the Tiger Leaping Gorge, an at times strenuous but very rewarding hike following the Yangtze River.
Suddenly, we looked straight into the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Deep into the gorge, that is - and there were no more trees to protect us from the height we had reached in the last hours of climbing. Far below us, water thundered through the narrow opening between the granite mountains rising above us on all sides. Here, the gorge is nearly 4,000 metres deep; we felt completely dwarfed. And wondered if that powerful yet relatively small river had actually managed to scrape its course through these mountains. From this point, it was not far to the top of the infamous 28 bends, from where the hike further into the gorge became pretty level and easy. The sun was still casting its last rays of light into the Tiger Leaping Gorge when we arrived at the well-known Half Way Guesthouse where we stayed for the night.
