More Rugged Scenery on the Road to the Tiger Leaping Gorge 虎跳峡
I was curious why I didn’t seen any other people walking on this road. I don’t think I was walking that slowly that I didn’t catch up to any other people but there were only a handful, and they weren’t tourists. I was suspecting that I was actually not on the hiking trail at all, but then again, this trail wasn’t exactly that bad either. The road was smooth and it was gentle enough to make me continue walking non stop. The view was gorgeous as well and as it turns out, it just keeps getting better and better. The road by this time was already quite high above the water now. The highway is now a road which is carved beside a mountain as it winds its way through the mountainous region.
Can You See the Trail Near the River?
It is kind of interesting to wonder if this road was meant for travelers like me to hike on. The view was great and there were a few visitors who would park their cars and get out to take photos. The river now is far below us when I noticed that there was another path on the opposite side of the river. It seems another walkway was carved out at the foot of the mountain. This is where visitors would come to see the Tiger Leaping Gorge. I didn’t notice where it came from since I only noticed it when I was already high up. From this vantage point, the walkway is now so small you might not notice it at all. I just hope my view would be better.
