Nine Dragon Waterfall
九龙瀑
A nine-tiered waterfall in southeastern Huangshan, where water cascades through nine bends and nine pools. Known as the “Number One Waterfall of Huangshan,” it is at its most powerful in the rainy season.
Nine Dragon Waterfall lies in the southern part of the Huangshan Scenic Area, about 3 km from Tangkou. The waterfall pours down between Luohan Peak and Xianglu Peak, winding through nine bends and nine pools, with a total drop of about 600 m. It is the most famous waterfall in Huangshan. The trail follows the valley, allowing you to view the falls and pools step by step, with a round trip of about 2 hours. Admission is about ¥50 and is sold separately from the main Huangshan ticket. In the dry season the water is low, so go during or after the rainy season. It can be paired with Emerald Valley on the same day.
