amazing

"Dragon like, this mighty range, pierced by the Yangtze as by a giants sword,... crowned by three peaks whose turrents know eternal winter only." Dr. Joseph Rock, 1923 describing the Tiger Leaping Gorge.

And the gorge is majestic and simply amazingly beautiful. So lush, and such fresh air and I have enjoyed every second of all the sweating and huffing and puffing the hikes we've done required. The evenings were spent right there in the middle of the gorge as well, watching the ever so beautiful mountain in front of us change in colour as the night came over us. Such total relaxation just sitting there, listening to the sounds of the range and the river. Could have stayed forever.




But all things come to an end. And our ending to the hiking was very sweet, a 5 star hotel with a breathtaking view from the bed. Could have stayed there forever as well.
