Guyin Waterfall is located in the west of Jurencun Village, Huangtong Town, Lingao County, Hainan Province, and is one of the Eight Ancient Sights of Lingao. It is known as the "Three Pools and Nine Bends". The waterfall is caused by the drop of the plain, with a drop of 20 meters, a width of 20 meters, a width of 400 square meters, and surrounded by strange rocks of various shapes. On the top of the west side of the waterfall, there are two ancient banyan trees, and there are several huge strange stones under the trees, one of which is inscribed with the four characters "Hainan Yijue". Above the strange stone, the waterfall pours down, like a dragon spitting beads, which is a spectacular sight. Under the strange stone, there is a large black hole, the "Guanyin Cave", and the waterfall pours down from the cliff, like smoke and fog, locking the entrance of the cave, like the Water Curtain Cave in the myth of Journey to the West.
