Several years ago, a Yunnan friend recommendedNujiang Canyon to me. \"You will see GaoligongMountain, famous for incredibly diverse veg-etation, on your left side, and magnificent BiluoSnow Mountain on the right,\" he illustrated. \"Beneathyour feet the Nujiang River will roar, and when lookingdown, you might tremble with fear. Of course, if you'rebrave enough, you can follow the ancient Tea and HorseCaravan Road, but make sure you don't fall into the riverfrom the narrow trail, which is less than one meter wide.\"
