"Hutiaoxia" - Tiger Leaping Gorge - is one of the most imposing gorges on our planet, rising some 4,000 m from the bed of the river to the peak of the mountains. But this is not the only magnificent destination; the snow-covered peaks of Chang-Shan, the Stone Forest at Kunming and other places make this stage a special kind of adventure.
