It is one of the best way to travel from Lijiang to Shangri-La. The White Water Terrace is definitely worth the extra miles (as you can't see this view anywhere in the world). The trip around the mountains are much better than through the high-way even though it is a faster route. You can take your time at the Tiger Leaping Gouge and White Water Terrace.
