Best time to visit
Midday between 11:00 and 14:00, when the sun is directly above the waterfall and the chance of rainbows is greatest. In summer, the mist offers cooling relief when temperatures exceed 30 degrees.
Budget tips
Admission costs 50 yuan (about 6.50 euros) per person. Bring cash as debit cards are not accepted at the entrance.

About
Quick facts: With a drop of 108 meters, this is the tallest waterfall in Sichuan province. The water thunders down into a natural pool that glows emerald green on clear days.
Highlights: On sunny afternoons, a double rainbow appears in the mist around the waterfall, a phenomenon that occurs in only a handful of places in the world. The force of the falling water is so intense that you can feel the ground tremble under your feet when standing ten meters away.
Insider tips
- Wear water shoes or sandals with grip; the stones around the pool are very slippery due to algae.
- The best photo moment is around 13:00. Bring a wide-angle lens to capture the full 108 meters.
- Avoid weekends and Chinese public holidays, as lines can be over an hour long.
- Bring a quick-dry towel and dry clothes; you will get soaking wet either way.
