2 Days Solo in Tiger Leaping Gorge (As a First-Time Hiker)

This is Day 6 of my journey through Yunnan, China. Over two days, I trekked through the legendary Tiger Leaping Gorge—from rugged ridge-line trails to peaceful stays overlooking the canyon. With 9 hours of hiking, sore shoulders, full SD cards, and an unforgettable sunset, this turned out to be the most perspective-shifting day of the trip. A huge thank you to the local mountain hosts and the incredible hikers who shared part of this trail with me. During this trek, we kept coming back to conversations about hiking through Nepal. In light of the recent flash floods in the region, our hearts go out to the people of Nepal and all the families affected. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to the channel so you don't miss the next chapter: Shangri La! 🥾🏔️ ---------------------------------------------------------------- ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Cinematic Intro 01:08 — Pre Hike Introduction 03:20 — Beginning of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Trek 19:52 — Reaching the Halfway 20:40 — The Final Stretch to Shelter 22:40 — Day 2 27:05 — Guanyin Waterfall 29:42 — End of the Trail 30:41 — Cinematic Ending ---------------------------------------------------------------- 🎥 MY CAMERA GEAR & ACCESSORIES Main Camera & Lenses 📷 Main Camera: Fujifilm X-T30 III Mirrorless Camera 📷 A similar camera that’s great for videography: https://amzn.to/4vWGwyq [◉°] Lens: https://amzn.to/4pMQf8X 🎮 Drone: https://amzn.to/4xroLsf Other gears: Variable ND Filter: https://amzn.to/4wtOCj9 🎙️Microphone: https://amzn.to/3TjsOrL 🎙️Wireless Microphone: https://amzn.to/4wkwtnE Tripod: https://amzn.to/4wsobtS Big camera bag: https://amzn.to/45xnfZj 💾 SD-Cards: ● 64gb: https://amzn.to/4yGejyg ● 16gb: https://amzn.to/3TfJ4tR 🛢️2TB HDD Harddrive: https://amzn.to/4wY24va
