Program Introduction

The Chuandong River Waterfall lies on the Weng'an River north of Weng'an County seat, a natural cave waterfall formed by typical karst landforms. Its most unique feature is a natural horizontal cave hidden behind the waterfall, creating the extraordinary scene of "one walking under the water, the water flowing over the head". When traversing the cave, through its three giant window-like openings, you can see the water curtain shifting—gathering and dispersing, thickening and thinning. During the summer rainy season, the 50-meter-wide water curtain plunges down, often forming a spectacular rainbow in the sunlight.

Travel tips

Use an action camera to capture your unique cave-traversing experience, or ensure your camera is fully waterproof before entering. Photos turn out better on clear days.
