Zhijin Waterfall (Zhijin Guiguo Waterfall)

Zhijin Waterfall (Zhijin Guiguo Waterfall)

The "Zhijin Guiguo Waterfall," standing 55 meters high and 35 meters wide, was once known as the "Waterfall Cascading Like a Beaded Curtain," where water pours down in a grand, unified sheet. In August 2011, it was officially renamed the "Zhijin Waterfall."

The "Zhijin Waterfall" is located near Machang Village in the lower reaches of the Zhijin River in Guiguo Town, Zhijin County. This is a rare natural museum and biodiversity treasure trove, featuring vast lush primeval forests, dramatic cascading waters, majestic alpine stone forests, and the history of the local Chuanqing people who have lived here for generations and share a deep connection with the waterfall—all of which vividly showcase the area’s unique local customs and culture. Starting in December 2010, Zhijin County Yaxian Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd. began tourism development of the "Zhijin Waterfall" and the surrounding 5-kilometer area, including the primeval forest, ancient post roads, and Guanyin Temple. By December 2013, nearly 100 million yuan had been invested in the entire "Zhijin Waterfall" scenic area, constructing 3,000 meters of tourist boardwalks, a large cultural square covering one hectare, a parking lot spanning over 6,000 square meters, and the Yaxian Agricultural Sightseeing Park—offering leisure and entertainment facilities integrated with the scenic area. Among these, the cultural square was listed in the China Shanghai Guinness World Records, earning the title of the largest wooden square in the nation.

The Zhijin Waterfall features attractions such as the "Sister-Watching Pavilion," the "Lover-Watching Pavilion," and the "Waterfall-Viewing Pavilion."
