The Yangtze river (also known as Yangtse, Yangzi or Jinsha Jiang)

is one of the longest rivers in China

and passes between the Haba Shan and Yulong Xueshan mountains

through one of the deepest gorges in the world.

The gorge is 16 km long and

there is a 3900 metre drop from the mountain tops to the river.

A statue of a jumping tiger is at the narrowest point of the gorge.
