Tiger Leaping Gorge Easy Hike & Meili Snow Mountain Sunrise

Tiger Leaping Gorge

The waters of Tiger Leaping Gorge are a striking emerald green, likely due to the limited rainfall in winter. Seeing the river both calm and turbulent creates a strong contrast, highlighting its dynamic beauty.

HALFWAY

The hiking route passes through HALFWAY, a high-altitude rest stop with a large balcony. From here, you get a stunning view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain directly across.

Meili Snow Mountain & the Sunrise over the Golden Peaks

The “sunrise over the golden peaks” symbolizes luck, happiness, and light. It represents a bright future and hope. Those who witness this natural wonder are considered extremely fortunate, as it is believed that good luck will follow them for life, and all difficulties and darkness will eventually fade away.

We had planned to watch the golden sunrise at Meili Snow Mountain, but the weather was not favorable that day. Still, being able to see the majestic Meili Snow Mountain in person was a stroke of luck in itself.
