The main attraction of the area is undoubtedly the waterfall itself, which is a stunning composition of three levels of large waterfall groups. From the deep valley cliffs, the Qinglong Grand Waterfall emerges like a green dragon, roaring down with a majestic and awe-inspiring force. Spanning over 200 meters in length, with a drop exceeding 120 meters and a width of over 40 meters, the waterfall cascades in a terraced formation. The powerful waves of water plunge into the abyss below, offering a profound experience of nature’s irresistible allure.

Hazy Emerald means that at the bottom of the waterfall, where the stream is gentle, pools will form. The pool water is green, just like natural emeralds.
