Itinerary
Tiger Leaping Gorge (Hutiao Xia)
The Tiger Leaping Gorge on the Jinsha River is like a surging dragon, roaring through the canyon. Standing on the observation deck, you can see the towering peaks on both sides of the canyon reaching high into the clouds, steep and precipitous. The river surges in the narrow canyon, stirring up huge waves. White spray splashes up, glinting dazzlingly in the sunlight. The majestic momentum cannot help but evoke awe for nature's marvelous craftsmanship and boundless power.
Black Dragon Pond Park
At Black Dragon Pond Park, appreciate the ancient architecture groups built from the Ming Dynasty and take the perfect photo of the reflection of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
Baisha Ancient Town
Visit Baisha Village, which used to be a Naxi settlement and the birthplace of local Mu Family Governors. Wander around the Baisha Village and enjoy the slow lifestyle of the Naxi People.

If you are interested in this artwork, the local small Embroidery School of the Mu Family is worth visiting.
