The Video of Tiger Leaping Gorge
Here is the first video taking of Sandra and I using the digital camera.

We hope to capture what a masterpiece of the giants Tiger Leaping Gorge is. The giant rock blocking the river looks like being cut off from the mountains on two side. If you told me that there had been two giants fighting each other with swords in ancient time, I would believe you. Well, this is also the legend of Lijiang. Two giant brothers fought for Lady Long River. The big brother was Yulong. His little brother was Habi. Yulong cut off Habi’s head. The fight was frozen with the head dropping in between them. The two brothers became Yulong Snow Mountain and Habi Snow Mountain. (In reality, Habi Snow Mountain is not higher than Yulong Snow Mountain.) Lady Long River saw the bloody scene and therefore she fiercely passed through like a crazy woman. Well, this may be the reason why before reaching the gorge, Long River is a peaceful green ribbon flowing quietly between the two snow mountains. Once it reaches the gorge, Long River becomes a fierce beast I could not have a tiny little piece of clue.
