Home > Chahua Xi

Chahua Xi (Camellia Stream) is situated between Dacheng Mountain and Zushi Ridge scenic areas, seamlessly connected to the Dacheng Mountain scenic region. The waterfalls there are numerous and breathtakingly beautiful, leaving visitors in awe and sparking their imagination.

Chahua Xi is a tranquil and picturesque stream. The stream valley is deep, the cliffs are steep, and shrubs and bamboo groves abound, with tea plantations stretching along both banks. When the tea flowers are in full bloom, they dot the green mountains and trees with patches of pure white, creating a harmonious contrast with the silver waterfalls.

The Chahua Xi scenic area boasts ten famous waterfalls, each forming a beautiful picture. The most spectacular is the Xianyun (Cloud-Biting) Waterfall. Upon entering Chahua Xi, visitors are greeted by a towering cliff. The blue sky is low above the rocky peak, with white clouds drifting by. A waterfall, biting into the clouds and spewing mist, cascades down from the peak, plunging into a deep pool with a thunderous roar, and the mist fills the sky. Visitors here truly feel like they are watching the waterfall in the rain, evoking a sense of tranquility and wild charm. The Xianyun Waterfall stands over 120 meters tall, 60 meters higher than the Huangguoshu Waterfall, and appears as a white ribbon suspended in mid-air. During the rainy season, when the floodwater surges down, it is even more majestic. Someone once composed a poem by this waterfall, lamenting worldly affairs: "The Cloud-Biting Waterfall on Nianhe Mountain, the waterfall is without intention, yet the clouds are leisurely. Why must it rush down the mountain, adding waves to the human world?" Standing before this magnificent waterfall, one's imagination runs wild with countless fantastical thoughts.

The most peculiar is the Shuilian Dong (Water Curtain Cave) Waterfall. An 80-meter-high waterfall arcs down from a sheer cliff, resembling a white rainbow flying through the air and snow waves cascading thousands of miles. Looking through the curtain of water at the stone wall, several high and low lava caves on the cliff resemble stone houses and halls. Climbing along the wall into the caves, one finds them either spacious as halls, narrow as doors, or deep as alleys. Standing inside, one looks up at the white waterfall curtain, the rocky valley, and the rainbow bridge; to the side, water splashes like jade, green grass forms a carpet, and stone vines weave a tapestry; through the water curtain, one can see the green mountains rising, the beautiful ridges winding, and the rain and mist steaming; looking down, one sees scattered villages, fields like brocade, and streams like ribbons, with people moving and vehicles flying. This scene is like entering a fairyland.

The most beautiful is the Cuizhu Yan (Green Bamboo Rock) Waterfall. Here, towering rocks soar skyward, and strange stones stand upright. On both sides, green mountains stretch continuously, with pines standing tall and lush. Bamboo by the cliff sways gracefully. Above the rock, a waterfall hangs high, with water cascading down like silver beads and transparent silk, clipped by the protruding rocks into flying pieces of light gauze. The rushing water flows all the way, creating waves and splashes, with a rustling sound. Under the sunlight, the curtain of water condenses into jade, the water ripples sparkle, and the pearl-like droplets scatter like broken silver, creating a colorful and charming spectacle.

The waterfalls in the Dacheng Mountain scenic area are beautiful, a grand garden of small waterfalls. The majesty of the Xianyun Waterfall in Chahua Xi, the peculiarity of the Shuilian Dong Waterfall, and the beauty of the Cuizhu Yan Waterfall... leave visitors unforgettable impressions and filled with admiration.
