Jiulong Waterfalls
九龙瀑布群
More than ten tiers of waterfalls cascade down the Jiulong River, and the largest, Shenlong Falls, is over 100 m wide. This is Luoping’s core scenic area and worth visiting in every season.
The Jiulong Waterfalls lie about 22 km northeast of Luoping County town. Along a river stretch of about 4 km, the Jiulong River forms more than ten tiers of waterfalls and deep pools, large and small. The largest, Shenlong Falls, is about 110 m wide with a drop of more than 50 m, and during the wet season its roar is deafening. It is one of the largest waterfall groups in China. The scenic area has walkways and wooden bridges along the river for close-up viewing. A full visit takes about 2–3 hours, and you can also take a bamboo raft down the river. Admission and sightseeing shuttle fees are charged separately, following the scenic area’s posted prices. Walkways are slippery in the rainy season, so watch your footing and wear waterproof gear.
