Nan'en Waterfall
南恩瀑布
The signature waterfall of the Ailao Mountains, about 100 meters high, pouring down from the mountaintop, with a roadside viewing platform.
Nan'en Waterfall lies on the western slope of the Ailao Mountains beside the Enshui Road, administratively on the Zhenyuan County side of Pu'er City. It drops about 100 meters, with water cascading in tiers down a cliff covered by dense forest, making it the most representative natural landscape of the Ailao Mountains. The viewing platform is beside the road, free to visit, and about 20 minutes is enough. Water volume is high in the rainy season, which is more spectacular, while the dry season brings thinner flow. It is about a 50-minute drive from Gasa Town, crossing the Ailao Mountains along the way. It can be combined with Longxi Clan Manor, Shimen Gorge, and the Tea Horse Road into a one-day loop. The mountain roads have many bends, so watch for foggy conditions.
