From Lijiang's Yulong Xueshan Mountain in the east, to Zhongdian's Haba Xueshan Mountain in the west, (link here to see Gorge high trail on Google Map) Tiger Leaping Gorge is the longest, deepest, and narrowest gorge in the world. The Gorge acquired its name because, according to local legend, a tiger once leaped over its torrid rapids.

Sean's Spring Lodge, an original Tibetan style building, was established in 1983 & was the first guesthouse in Walnut Garden (Hetao Yuan) to be built in the village. The guesthouse offers the services of a responsible mountain guide in the form of Sean himself, luxurious, cozy rooms (the best beds in China!) & guaranteed 24 hours hot water. The guesthouse also has (halleluiah!) western toilets , great food & actually possess the only bathtubs (ensuite rooms) in China as far as we've heard! Great for soaking away the aches & pains of a long hike. Best of all, the terrace looks out onto a dramatic 2000m cliff. Now that's something to look at with your cocktails in the evening!
