Vengeance Cliff Waterfall
Xiefengya Waterfall is the largest waterfall in the scenic area, reaching over 100 meters. It has three tiers, with rapid, slow, and fast water flows. The highest tier resembles a galloping dragon, the middle tier resembles a dragon venting its anger, and the lowest tier resembles a dragon lingering in anger. Standing here, you can feel the powerful force of the wind rushing towards you. On a clear day, the mist can reach up to 30 meters away, indicating a particularly high concentration of negative oxygen ions.
Feihong Waterfall
Feihong Waterfall is one of Chongdu Valley's iconic sights, with a drop of over 40 meters. It consists of two tiers, the upper portion resembling a stretched white silk thread. Below this "white silk thread" is the three-meter-deep Gemian Pond. The lower portion resembles a dancing silver thread. After rain, a rainbow rises from the pool at the bottom of the waterfall, reaching the sky. The majestic spectacle of a rainbow soaring across thousands of mountains and dancing across thousands of valleys gives the waterfall its name.
Water Curtain Fairy Palace
Shuilianxiangong Waterfall is one of the three iconic waterfalls of Chongdu Valley. If Xiefenya Waterfall embodies masculine beauty, Shuilianxiangong Waterfall embodies feminine beauty. On clear days, the sun shines through the pool at the base of the waterfall, reflecting off the cascading bead curtain, creating a rainbow of colors. This vibrant scene, intertwined with the sunlit moss curtain, creates a vibrant scene reminiscent of the mirages of Penglai Pavilion and Yaochi Palace.
