About Gudong Waterfalls
Water passes over mineral-coated rock surfaces, while dense vegetation, vines and maple woodland create a different atmosphere from the open Li River viewpoints. The waterfall-climbing activity is one optional way to visit, with its own equipment and operating rules. The forest and named viewpoints also deserve attention, particularly when seasonal leaf colour changes the setting.
What to look for
- The cascades step down through pools and mineral-coated rock.
- Maple woodland and dense vines frame the forest sections of the visit.
