This vlog follows James And Keli's incredible journey hiking the Tiger Leaping Gorge in Yunnan, China, a top bucket list item for them. Their adventure begins with a slight setback – missing their initial bus to the trailhead. However, their spirits remain high as they secure a later bus and enjoy a quick breakfast. The journey to the gorge involves a bus ride and a short taxi ride to the trail's start.
The hike itself is described as challenging, with a significant uphill climb initially. The couple's decision to hire a donkey to carry their bags proves invaluable, highlighting the unexpected hurdles and problem-solving that come with such an adventure. The stunning views, however, make the effort worthwhile, with James And Keli capturing breathtaking vistas along the way.
Reaching the Nashi Guesthouse is a significant milestone, offering a moment of rest and reflection.

The payoff is a stunning view of the turquoise river, a stark contrast to some of the muddy depictions they'd seen online.
The vlog concludes with their arrival at the T-horse Guesthouse (which they initially misnamed), highlighting their celebratory beer and the cozy atmosphere of their room. The cold temperatures and the stunning night sky are also memorable parts of their experience. The vlog promises a continuation of their adventure in a future episode, leaving viewers eager for more of James And Keli's journey through the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
