Located in Southwest China the mighty Yangtze River surges through the white-capped Haba and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, creating a spectacular river canyon that rates as one of the world's deepest. According to local legend a tiger leapt 25 meters across the river to escape humans, lending its name to Tiger Leaping Gorge. The inhabitants of the gorge are primarily the Naxi people, an ethnic group, originally from northwestern China, migrating south toward Tibetan populated regions.
