At the junction of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau stands a Yunnan’s famous tourist spots, Tiger Leaping Gorge. The gorge is tucked neatly between the Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain. At the opening of the gorge, which is also the mouth of the Jinsha River, a Herculean pebble, about 30 meters wide, seems to be stranded amidst the billowing waves.
