Nujiang Grand Canyon: One of Asia's Deepest River Gorges
Why Visit Nujiang Grand Canyon
The Nujiang Grand Canyon is among Asia's deepest and most dramatic river gorges. The Salween River carves through this remote region between the Tibetan plateau and the Myanmar border. The road along the canyon is an adventure in itself, with waterfalls cascading onto the road.

A 200km stretch of road along the canyon with a dozen dramatic waterfalls cascading directly onto the asphalt.
Lisu Bamboo Bridge
Traditional woven bamboo suspension bridges across the raging Salween. A dying art. Walk across one if you dare.
