Vacation in China 2009: The Nine Dragon Waterfall

The total length of the Nine Dragon Waterfall is 600 meters. The waterfall is folded nine times, forming nine small waterfalls and nine deep pools. It's one of the wonder waterfalls in the world.
I was so lucky to visit the waterfall during a raining season. With morn than 20 days of rainfall, the waterfall had gained enough energy and eargerly rushed down from the mountain.
There is a old Chinese poem that can best describe this view here "飞流直下三千里,疑是银河落九天”. Let me try to translate it into English, but I'm pretty sure it will lose the original flavor. Here is the translation "flying stream goes down straight for 3000 miles, Like milky way falls from the sky". (Click the pic to view larger)

The Black Dragon waterfall. Looks like a black dragon is ambushing in the water, shutting his eyes and practicing his Kungfu:
