There are 3 roads from the Middle Rapids back up to the Gorge to Walnut Grove. One ends at the left of Woody No.2 (using the main road for tourist coaches, Y15 for "road crossing" fee). Another ends near Teacher Zhang's Guesthouse (through Tianti which takes 2 hours, Y5 "road crossing" fee), take the third which go through ends near Chateau Woody where you see a sign advertising Xia Yin Gu's guide service. Take the third one which goes through Yixiantian but takes 3 hours as the scenery is the most spectacular in the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge. Notice that on this third road close to the rapids there is a very dangerous section of a few dozen meters long called "Tiny Sky" (and you need to pay between Y2-5 depending on the condition to cross that).
