In the Yunnan province, this is the worlds deepest gorge, and sadly the lonely planet talks about the possibility of closing it up to build dams for electricity.
I hope it never happens because what a beautiful peaceful place it is! You can either get a driver to take you through, or hike yourself along the right side of the gorge, which has amazing cute guesthouses and hostels along the way! There is a main road, or a hiking trail further up that can be extremely dangerous in rainy weather (and also hard due to altitude).
I stuck with the road since there can't be too much traffic in these parts, and had a wonderful time!
Mid-complete right is Tina's guesthouse, which brings probably the nicest view in the gorge.
