The Tiger Leaping Gorge is one of the deepest gorges in the world (3900 meters). Tourist have the choice of two mountains to come to the place where once the tiger leaped according to the legend. On the opposite site, you only have to descend a relatively short but very steep path down. I pity the ascending tourist on the way back. We choose the other bank which let's you walk along a 2.8 km level road hacked in the mountains. For cheaters: you can hire a ricksha and let yourself be drawn all the way. On the opposite there were teams of men to carry you up and down the mountain slope.
