Program Introduction

Hidden in the Sancha River is a deep rift called Cat Leaping Gorge. It lives up to its name, with a depth of over 100 meters and sheer, chiseled cliffs. The river water stays a serene yet mysterious blue-green color year-round, resembling an "ice-blue ribbon" embedded into the earth. The 9 to 12-kilometer hiking loop leads you from the idyllic countryside deep into the thundering heart of the canyon, a visual and spiritual journey from gentle serenity to grandeur.
