China: Paths etched into the cliffside at the entrance to Tiger Leaping Gorge, north of Lijiang, Yunnan Province

Tiger Leaping Gorge is located north of Lijiang. The Yangtze (Yang Zi) River flows through the canyon. The gorge is part of the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas World Heritage Site.
