Eastern end of Tiger Leaping Gorge (Hutiaoxia), Yunnan. The gorge has ended here, at the point where it curves north and skirts the Daju Plain. In the far distance there is a ferry crossing which will take you over a relatively safe section of the Yangtse River, where you can then climb up to the escarpment and continue on to Daju and Lijiang or other destinations.
