It enjoyed a long history of over800 years and unlike most of the old towns in China, there is nocity walls due to a superstitious belief of the local ruler whosefamily name is Mu (tree), when encircled by walls, would be Kun(besieged).

The Tiger Leaping Gorge, or Hutiaoxia in Chinese, is the Yangzi's best-known gorge after the Three Gorges in Sichuan and Hubei. It is 90 kilometers to the west of Lijiang. Wedged tightly between titanic cliffs, the river is so narrow here, as legend tells us, that a hunted tiger made his escape to the other side in a single bound. Here, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountains and the Haba Snow Mountains lean close to each other and a large volume of torrent moving between them cutting deeper and deeper into thebottom of the gorge. In some places there is a drop of 3,000 meters to the water. |
