tiger leaping gorge, yunnan 虎跳峽
徒步虎跳峽：早上七時從中虎跳一直走到橋頭，大約下午四時多到達，整個人都累死了，但十分值得，因為沿途景色很優美。

wonderful photo! It reminds me of the following ancient Chinese poem:
Poetic Essay on the Yangzi River (excerpt)
In the gorges east of Ba,
Where the Lord of Xia chiseled a path for the waters,
Broken cliffs plunge ten thousand feet,
Their wall-like faces ragged in mist;
The lone peak of Tiger Tooth soars to the sky,
And the Gate of Jing rises, towering and majestic.
There the curve-bound pools spin nine times round, swelling and subsiding,
And the fierce currents roar like thunder, dart with lightning speed.
--Guo Pu (276-324)
Translated by Burton Watson
《江賦》 郭璞
若乃巴東之峽，夏后疏鑿。绝岸萬丈，壁立霞駮。
虎牙嵥豎以屹崒，荊門闕竦而磐礴。圓淵九回以懸騰，湓流雷呴而電激。
