Tiger Leaping Gorge

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.
