A cluster of canyon waterfalls on the Xiaofeng River, a 4A-level scenic area. The main fall is about 102 meters high and offers a through-the-waterfall experience rare in China—along the boardwalk behind the falls you pass right through the water curtain; canyon boardwalks follow the stream upstream, linking tier after tier of cascades. The Xiaofeng River basin around the falls is a karst canyon, and the falls were formerly called Baiguoshu (Ginkgo Tree) Waterfall (according to records). In summer, water-fun crowds pack the site—the through-the-falls raincoats and roaring spray are star scenes on social media—and the falls pair well with Three Gorges Tribe on a one-day route.
Getting there: Shuttle bus from downtown / self-drive, about 1 hour (Xiaofeng scenic area)
