Wangxiangtai Waterfall
望乡台瀑布
“China's Highest Waterfall,” with a 158 m drop and 48 m width. Its outline is shaped like a heart, earning it the nickname “No. 1 Heart Under Heaven,” and it is the top scenic highlight of Simian Mountain.
Wangxiangtai Waterfall is the core scenic area of Simian Mountain. It drops about 158 m and is about 48 m wide, making it one of the widest single-drop waterfalls in China. Red Danxia cliffs frame the white falling water, and from a distance its outline resembles a heart. The viewing platform offers a direct view, while the trail descending to the base lets you see the mist up close. The Simian Mountain main gate ticket costs about 90 yuan in peak season and about 60 yuan off-season, valid for two days. Distances between areas inside the park are long, so driving or taking a sightseeing bus is recommended.
