Jipu Canyon
吉普峡谷
A deep canyon just south of Gyirong Town, with a suspension bridge across the rushing river below and viewing platforms overlooking cliffs and forest.
Jipu Canyon lies in Jipu village, a short distance south of Gyirong Town. Here, the Gyirong Tsangpo has cut a deep gorge, with steep cliffs, lush forest, and roaring rapids in the valley below. The site has viewing platforms and a suspension bridge across the canyon, making it one of the most dramatic natural sights in Gyirong Valley. It is about 5 km from Gyirong Town, a 15-minute drive, and a visit takes about an hour. Those who are afraid of heights should take care on the suspension bridge, and be alert for falling rocks during the rainy season.
