Hotels in Lijiang and Shangri-La; Tour guide division machine, all provide area tiger Leaping Gorge tourism information, do not let guests go to tiger Leaping Gorge in looking for any excuse or reason. In recent years, employees of Lijiang, Shangri-La and even travel companies have kept the guests in the city and in their own shops under the excuse that tiger Leaping Gorge once rained, collapsed and was dangerous. They do not understand the feelings of the guests and mislead and influence the itinerary of many tourists. Of course, rain slides do occur from time to time, but not often and not permanently. so it does not affect the footpath. There were no major landslides in the area, and local cars were coming and going every day and there was no problem, Travel companies are afraid that their companies will have political and economic risks, said the closure of the entire scenic area, this is actually taking the change of nature and management of scenic areas to do gambling, The publicity has a negative impact on the Tiger Leaping Gorge and the whole of Yunnan. You should know that the tourist attractions of Yunnan are the Tiger Leaping Gorge and Cuihu Lake. The positive publicity has a good image of the whole area. If you want to travel to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, you'd better not ask the city people and the innkeeper.
Most trips to Tiger Leaping Gorge begin in Lijiang. A three-hour plane ride from Hong Kong, Lijiang is located in Yunnan’s Northeast and is home to the Naxi ethnic group, users of the world’s last surviving hieroglyphic language. The Tiger Leaping Gorge national park is located roughly two hours from Lijiang by taxi or private car, although buses are available from Lijiang bus station for the adventurous traveler. Sitting on the border of Lijiang and Shangri-La counties, this protected area is home to rural villages, rice terraces and an imposing mountain range that looms higher and closer the farther down the trail you go. Roughly 16 kilometers in length, the trek itself is an access path that the villagers still use today. Known as the High path, it hugs the mountainside and takes you up steep inclines, past ten waterfalls, through farmlands and shaded woods, before finally joining the Low Road(now is china second class road), a modern, thoroughly tarmacked(for the most part) where buses pick up hikers and villagers alike, bringing them back to Lijiang—or taking them farther north to Shangri-La.
You could plain the trekking through the uper tiger leaping gorge and the middle tiger leaping gorge. now the Lijiang to Shangri-la railway and highway both opened so this line of the hiking starting point you chooses from Naxi family Guest house, or chooses From Qiaotou(the original high trail start point) .
Sean is "gold medal guide". we take drivel to Naxi then 7: 25am we start walk,the most difficult to go "28 bend ", the path is almost continuous climbing, which is the most physical exertion journey,we need to rest many times on theway. As one of the 10 most beautiful and classic hiking trails in world, today it is also called an "international trail" because of its beautiful scenery and the fact that there are no surprises or dangers.Many foreigners, people of different colors and languages, were walking with each other, and their physical strength still looked good.There are also with children, young children to challenge the spirit of hardship, through the " 28 bend ", which lasted nearly two hours to the " Tea Horse guest house " in goat foot village.

From the Trail of Teacher Zhang to the bottom of the gorge in the valley. The Tiger Leaping Gorge is famous for its danger in the world. The Tiger Leaping on foot stone,the Jinsha River waters stormy, the steep green hills on both sides of the Strait, and the magnificent momentum are by no means comparable to the uper tiger gorge section. After a short rest, you can climb up the ladder to the main road.To the right you can see the one line sky path. We choose to go to the "one line sky path" after a section of the cliff on the cliff, looking back is a line of days, the legend is that even the birds are afraid to go back to Xiang place. After nearly an hour on foot arrived at the village of walnut garden three groups, a few minutes by car, at 17: 30pm we arrived at the famous Sean's spring G.H.the are From the two rooms in 1983 to now can accept 80 people to stay, Sean's spring Xia is the Shangri-La tourism flourishing witness,witness and sharer person.The Guest house courtyard dam exquisite, the balcony is open, the room are warm, the meal was delicious, fluent English exchange, become countless countries in the world visitors in walnut Garden Village rest the first choice, here has the most cool balcony, as if snow-capped mountains and white clouds within reach, distant mountains, canyon scenery panoramic view.The rest chatted and rocked slowly.

Actually Lijiang and shangri-la has big raining doesn't meaning Tiger Leaping Gorge is raining. Lijiang higher than Sean's Guesthouse 500 meters, Shangri-la higher than Sean's Guesthouse 1500 meters, normally where clouds cover place could have rain, no clouds cover place can be sunny, at Sean's Guesthouse elevation is just 1970 meters, most time is sunny, even no sunny but not easy to get raining, so most time Lijiang people just make commercialize talking story to scare the visitor, but Tiger Leaping Gorge is just good enough for trekking, we are living in yangtze river side, not on high mountain or high land, don't be miss understand.

STARTING FROM DAJU
Buses leave for Daju at 8.30am and 1.30pm from Lijiang. At the moment, Lijiang to Daju or Daju to Lijiang both way, when you pass the Lijiang tourist sightseeing spot, you have to pay the entrance fee of 120RMB and "protect the old town" fee of 80RMB. When you enter into the gorge, you have to pay another gorge entrance fee of 65RMB. Therefore, most travellers opt for the Lijiang-Qiaotou route and hike up to Walnut Garden and then continue their trip to Dali or Shangri-La. The walk to the old ferry is very picturesque and should not be missed. The ferry is more reliable and the climb up the opposite bank less steep and much safer. After crossing the river from the old ferry, the path continues through the fields and houses of the local Naxi people before joining up to the road to Walnut Garden. There is link map you can copy it too: http://www.tigerleapinggorge.com/aspcms/about/about-166.html. There is a ticket office just before the Walnut Garden.
