Yuntan Waterfall is approximately 200 meters high, with water cascading down from the stone crevices like a suspended white ribbon. The waterfall is divided into three levels, each with a pool surface, with the third level being the most spectacular. Yanzi Cliff’s eave-like overhanging cliff is covered with many fine holes distributed in strips, which used to be the place where swallows built their nests. The trail path goes right under the cliff, and when it rains, the mountain spring flows down like walking in a water curtain cave.
