Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall
天台山大瀑布
A nine-tier cascade with a total drop of about 325 meters; from afar it looks like a single white silk ribbon, and each tier has its own shape up close.
Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall lies on the western foot of Tongbai Mountain. Its total drop is about 325 meters, and its widest point is about 100 meters. The fall is made up of nine tiers and is fed by the upstream Tongbai Reservoir, which regulates the water flow so that it stays steady during the day. Hiking trails and viewing platforms run along one side, letting visitors climb from the base to the top tier by tier. From there, you can continue to Jiulong Lake, Tongbai Palace and Qiongtai Fairy Valley, a trip that takes half a day. The waterfall opened in 2020 and shares a 5A scenic area with Qiongtai Fairy Valley. Ticket prices follow the official announcement. The trail has many steps, but those with moderate fitness can take the scenic area shuttle bus.
