Yunnan, China

Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of the deepest gorges in the world, is situated in Yunnan, China. The gorge offers some of the most spectacular views and one of the most diverse landscapes in China. The program takes students through ancient towns, shady forests and a chance to interact with Yunnan’s ethnic minorities.

An ancient local legend says that a tiger used rocks as it’s stepping stones so it could leap from one side of the gorge to the other, creating the name Tiger Leaping Gorge
