The Nuorilang Waterfall (诺日朗瀑布 [Nuòrìlǎng Pùbù]; Promising Bright Bay Waterfall) was nearby the road so Julie and I noticed that it tended to grab the attention of bus riders thereby earning it the…

The Shuzheng Waterfall may not have the width and size of its more famous counterparts like Nuorilang Waterfall and Pearl Shoal Waterfall, but it certainly has the grace and beauty that…

The Doupotang Waterfall is the most notable of the waterfalls in the area not named the Huangguoshu Waterfall. We actually noted this waterfall on one of the tourist maps while…

The Huangguoshu Waterfall is perhaps China’s most famous waterfall. And after our experience with these falls, we can easily see why. As for why this waterfall was named after a yellow fruit tree…

The Longmen Waterfall is one of the main attractions of the Longgong Caves. This was actually an unexpected surprise for us as we had no clue that the Longgong Caves even featured a waterfall…

The Detian Waterfall (德天瀑布 [Détiān Pùbù]; Virtuous Heaven Waterfall) was said to be Asia’s largest transnational waterfall because it was shared by both China and Vietnam. Surrounded by…
