Beijing Scenic Waterfall

Beijing's First Waterfall is located in Miyun District in Beijing's suburb. Five big characters “the First Waterfall in Beijing" are engraved on the cliff to the left of the Waterfall, which is 62.5m high, 28m higher than "the Waterfall to the Heaven" close to it in the Heilong Pond. The Waterfall is active throughout the year and its flow rate is about half a cubic meter even in the dry seasons of winter and spring.

The source of the Waterfall is the Liu River, which originates in Yunmeng Mountain in Huairou District, converging from all mountain springs and creeks in the course of flow along the east foot of the Yunmeng Mountain, washing out and creating a series of natural sights along the way. For example, the "Connected Six Ponds", the "Jade-Splashing Waterfall", the "Waterfall Hung in the Air" and the "Nostalgic Pond", are all "masterpieces" of the Liu River. The First Waterfall in Beijing is the last sight of the Liu River before it merges into the Bai River. The dark green and transparent pond water is smashed by the waterfall-like flying pearls and splashed jades and looks like flying dragons and tigers from nearby and fog and smoke from afar. When the sunlight shines into the valley, it presents a ring of light in seven colors, a rainbow on the earth. The roar of water echoes in the vacant valley and the powerful and majestic momentum of the waterfall cause people to linger on in amazement.

The "Blue Dragon Pond", the name of a pond under the "First Waterfall in Beijing", is 8 m at its deepest. After it's filled to capacity, water overflows into the Bai River, which is one of the water supply sources of the Miyun Reservoir.

High peaks in the scenic spot pierce directly into the sky-like huge swords and vividly depict different feelings. The scenic spot is 3 km in length and its drop in elevation is 200 m. Scenes change and different colors are presented when you move and unique ponds connected with each other seem masterpieces of superlative craftsmanship. All tourists visiting hate to leave the site.
