Nanshan Waterfall: The roaring wild inside China's porcelain capital

CGTN

00:41

Deep within the pristine, primeval forests of Yaoli – the ancient cradle of Chinese porcelain – lies a raw spectacle of natural power. Known locally as the "little Huangguoshu" after China's most famous waterfall, Nanshan Waterfall is a thunderous contrast to the quiet ink-wash aesthetics of the nearby water towns.

Fed by the peaks of Fuliang County, the cascade flows across a total drop of 220 meters. It forms a dramatic sequence of four interconnected falls: Nanshan, Shihua, Feilong and Piaojin. The pristine mountain torrents plunge down a 70-meter-wide cliff, cloaking the ancient bamboo valley in a perpetual, cooling mist.

Escape the summer heat and modern hustle. Immerse yourself in this breathtaking landscape and experience the untamed charm of raw nature.
