Dieshui River Waterfall
叠水河瀑布
A volcanic-rock waterfall on the Daying River at the edge of Tengchong city, about 40 meters high and one of the closest waterfalls to an urban center in China.
Dieshui River Waterfall lies on the Daying River about 1 km west of Tengchong city. The river drops over a cliff formed by volcanic lava, a fall of about 40 meters. In the rainy season mist fills the air, and the roar can be heard from afar. Beside the falls are Taiji Bridge and a waterfall-viewing pavilion, and a Ming-dynasty cliff inscription reading “Dieshui” is carved into the rock. Admission depends on the site, and in recent years it has often been free. You can walk or take a taxi from the city in about 10 minutes, making it a good evening stop. It can also be combined with the National Martyrs’ Cemetery and Laifeng Mountain on the same day.
