Travel Guide - Mantianxing and One Line Sky

Posted by ugfanfan on November 11th, 2014

The most special attractions in the Middle Section of Tiger Leaping Gorge are Mantianxing (Stars all over the sky) and One Line Sky. The river falls nearly 100 meters (328 ft) in this section with reefs standing in random; the riptide jumps in the reefs like stars falling into the river. Therefore, it is named as Mantianxing (Stars all over the sky) by the locals. The best time to see this attraction is during the time of sunset.
It takes about 1 hour to Mantianxing from Tina's and 1.5 hours back. 3 to 4 hours is needed including the visiting time.

Going through the hinterland of the gorge, the Snow Mountains at the two sides of the section are the highest peak. Viewing the gorge from here, you will see the sight of one line sky cut by the high mountains and deep valleys, like standing at the horizon. The sight here is called"One Line Sky"。 In spite of the"One Line Sky",the flying waterfalls and the deep valley would make your trip more enjoyable.

There is no way from Mantianxing (Stars all over the sky)and"One Line Sky"; you should go back to Tina's and then move to"One Line Sky". It is not necessary to go to the"One Line Sky"because you can view its sight from Mantianxing.
