The fall of the waterfall is 9 meters, with rich water resources. In summer, after the rainfall, there would be a rainbow, crossing the waterfall, and it looks like illusory view. In spring and autumn, there is a totally different view on the waterfall. Because the differences in seasonal climate and the rainfall, the scenery has changed from time to time.
