In China, we hiked the Tiger Leaping Gorge, a beautiful two-day hike through the mountains of China. Along the way, we had beautiful views of the snow-capped peaks of the Yulong Mountains. The gorge is located between the peaks of Haba Mountain and Yulong Mountain.
You start the hike from the town of Lijiang. This is the last town before you reach Tibet. Here there are several hostels and tours that will take you to the starting point of the hike. The town itself is also worth a visit, as it has an authentic Chinese heart.
During this hike, I couldn't get enough of views like this. The majestic mountains make me feel part of something bigger and at the same time make me reflect on the small impact I have during my existence on earth.
