Why does National Geographic highly recommend this hiking trail?

I was already amazed by the Tiger Leaping Gorge featured in National Geographic before. Only after experiencing it myself did I understand why it is one of China's top ten hiking trails. Some people might think a day in Tiger Leaping Gorge is enough, but for hiking, there is no path that isn't worth taking. And there is not a single part of Tiger Leaping Gorge that will make you feel like you've wasted your steps. Keep this 2-day, 1-night guide handy, and deeply appreciate the beauty of Tiger Leaping Gorge. 💕About the itinerary Day1️⃣: Bridgehead ➡️ Naxi Family Guesthouse ➡️ 28 Bends ➡️ Tea Horse Guesthouse ➡️ halfway Guesthouse Day2️⃣: halfway ➡️ Longdong Waterfall ➡️ Tina's Guesthouse ➡️ Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge ➡️ 168 Brave Steps - Teacher Zhang's Guesthouse 🚘About transportation Self-driving: Lijiang - Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area Ticket Office - Naxi Family Guesthouse (SUV rental recommended) Public transportation: Lijiang Bus Station - Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge 🏨About accommodation You don't necessarily have to exhaust yourself hiking 👨‍🦯 to see the beautiful scenery of Tiger Leaping Gorge; you can also see it while lying flat. For example, staying at the Shangri-La Secret Land Halfway Hotel, open the room's ceiling in the morning to see the sea of clouds surging, in the evening watch the golden sunlight on the mountains, and at night gaze at the stars. Wherever you walk to the hotel, look up to see the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, look down at the roaring Tiger Leaping Gorge river, and above the cliffs are layers upon layers of mountains. It will definitely immerse you in the atmosphere of living among great mountains and rivers, accompanied by the scenery. ⏰Specific itinerary timing Day1️⃣ 9 AM depart from Lijiang Bus Station to Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area gate (about 2 hours) After lunch at 1 PM, start the hike, crossing the famous 28 Bends (about 1.5 hours) Arrive at Tea Horse Guesthouse for a rest and a cup of coffee (about half an hour) Tea Horse Guesthouse to halfway Guesthouse, this section offers a view with the golden sunlight on the mountains (about 2 hours to reach halfway Guesthouse) Day2️⃣ Note the photo checkpoints 📸 9 AM at halfway Guesthouse 📸 Pass by Longdong Waterfall 📸 Then pass by several rocks 📸 Arrive at Tina's Guesthouse at 12 PM, where you can have lunch After lunch, head to Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge - One Line Sky 📸 Then hike to the 168 Brave Steps 📸 Arrive at Teacher Zhang's Guesthouse, return trip ❗Essentials for the trip: ID card, power bank, headphones, charger Sunscreen, band-aids, alcohol spray, wet wipes, face mask, tissue paper, 1L of mineral water or beverage per person, bread and fruit (there are many supply points along the way, water on the mountain costs 10-15 yuan per bottle)
