Jinzhu Waterfalls
金竹瀑布群
Twenty-six waterfalls strung along a valley in Jinzhu She Ethnic Township, with a total drop of over 400 metres and very high levels of negative ions, a summer retreat.
Jinzhu Waterfalls (the Yangxin Valley Jinzhu Waterfall Scenic Area) lies in Jinzhu She Ethnic Township in southern Le'an County. With forest cover of over 90%, the valley is home to 26 waterfalls with a cumulative drop of over 400 metres, a rare sight in China. A round trip along the stream boardwalk takes about 3-4 hours, with many steps, so wear non-slip shoes, and watch for flash floods in the rainy season. Nearby are She ethnic villages and dozens of guesthouses and farmhouse restaurants where you can sample She cuisine. It is about 1 hour's drive from the Le'an county seat.
