離虎跳峽不遠的雲南深處

If you get on Google Earth and type in "Lijiang, Yunnan, China" (雲南麗江) you should see the Yangtze River's First Bend without too much trouble. You can then zoom in to get a closer look. If you follow the river northward after the Bend, you will come upon the Tiger Leaping Gorge (虎跳峽). You can click on the small dots to see the photographs uploaded by users. This part of China is worthy of a national park, with mountain peaks towering over 3,900 meters above the river banks.
