It is one of the deepest canyons in the world and one of the ten most beautiful canyons in China. The south bank of Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area is Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the north bank is Haba Snow Mountain. Tightly bound by the high mountains on both sides, the river is only more than 50 meters wide after flowing into the gorge. At the narrowest point, a tiger and leopard can jump across it, so it is named Tiger Leaping Gorge.
