Introduction
After leaving the walnut orchard and heading towards the gorge, you gradually feel the openness of the valley, as if it is not far from leaving the gorge mouth. On the side of the gravel road, there is a yellow English signpost indicating the fork road leading to the first ferry. Walk along the road for about half an hour, and you will reach the riverbank. The river here leaves two impressions on people: it is wide and peaceful, and it is surrounded by the beautiful scenery of high gorges and flat lakes. The Lijiang earthquake in February 1996 caused a large landslide on the side of Mount Haba, blocking the river channel and raising the river surface, making the water flow extremely calm, as if forming a high lake in the river. At this time, Xiaohu Jump became a natural good ferry. The best way to experience it is to shout loudly towards the deep gorge, without rapids competing with you, only the snowy mountains on both sides transmitting sound for you, and you can hear your voice echoing on the surface of the snow-capped river for a long time. This wonderful enjoyment is unforgettable.
