Located 27 kilometers southwest of
the Jinghong Autonomous County in Yunnan Province, the Mandian Waterfall has
more than 10 cascades, with a fall of nearly 20 meters and a width of 10 meters.
It sends out a thunderous sound resembling the roar of 400 angry wild beasts,
which can be heard from far away.
The Mandian Waterfall lies in a virgin
forest full of various species of plants. Walking through the forest and
standing on a small bridge over the river, one can see the waterfall rushing
down from cliffs above the head and stirring up thick mist. Both sides of the
riverbanks are covered with vegetation of typical rain forests. Ancient trees
stand on the cliffs and evergreen broad-leaved trees grow along the waterfall
with bushiness. Strolling through such ancient forests, one can enjoy a
wonderful view.
