About Three Gorges Waterfall
A waterfall 102 m high and 80 m wide in a limestone canyon in northern Yiling district, the main one of more than 30 falls along the valley stream. A path lets visitors walk through the curtain of falling water, so expect to get wet; a via ferrata route along the cliff and a cliff-side café have been added in recent summers. The scenic area, rated 5A in July 2022, also includes Golden Lion Cave and the cave spring known as Lovers' Spring.
