Suggest go on early and last winter, great landscapes, a little crowd if u want to take photos. Must wear layers of clothes! There are 2 elevators to go up and down, go down 35, go up 65, buy online will be cheaper. Very low oxygen, u could ready for some situation, u can also buy oxygen bottle before go down. The path is as high as 10 floors walk. Have bathrooms. If u lucky, u can see some squirrels. Have a good day!

Shangri-la Hutiaoxia Scenic is just beside Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It's well built and easy to walk on the way to see the tiger symbolize.
The river flows hard and strong. All the visitors must be alerted to the handphones and devices that may fall down.
The atmosphere here is freezing and cold. The air pollution is Nice and comfortable breezes. Worth coming to have a visit but once in a lifetime is enough.

Magnificent scenic tour. Different part of the year has different views and experience. For those who are unable to do stairs, you have to pay for the escalator service. its worth it because its a long way down and up. Wind is really strong so warm clothes are definitely required.

This spot is a must-see! The views of the mountains and (aggressive) river stream are really incredible.
The one caveat is that climbing up the stairs after you're done sightseeing can be brutal if you're not used to physical activity. They have a lot of benches along the climb back up for resting or you can buy an escalator package to save the energy

Park ur car, buy ticket 4d bus ride thn buy ticket for escalator 70y unless u want to walk down, i hv a knee problem so escalator here v come. Once at the bottom u get push to take another tourist trap of foto which is ofcos optional when u get out. Thy actually laminate the foto 4u which is a good thing. Tiger leaping gorge changes base on which season u visit, winter the water average but when the snow melts there’s a lot more water going thru dat gorge thn it wld b magnificent even scary but
