Diaoshuilou Waterfall

Diaoshuilou Waterfall, also known as Jingpo Lake Waterfall, is located southwest of Ning'an City in Heilongjiang Province and is the largest waterfall in the province. It serves as the outlet where Jingpo Lake flows into the Mudan River, essentially consisting of two waterfalls plunging into the same pool, with a height of about 20–25 meters and a width of approximately 42 meters. As Diaoshuilou Waterfall is the northernmost waterfall in China in terms of latitude, its scenery varies remarkably between winter and summer. During the summer floods, water from Jingpo Lake converges at the pool’s mouth from all directions before suddenly plummeting down, resembling countless white horses galloping forth or a galaxy cascading from the sky. The thunderous roar can be heard several miles away, and the sheer force of the falls is awe-inspiring up close. Due to the large drop and rapid flow, the waterfall produces a deafening sound that can be heard from as far as 1,000 meters away.
From Jingbo Mountain Resort, head north and cross a mountain ridge; not far beyond lies Diaoshuilou Waterfall. This is the point where Jingpo Lake water flows into the Mudan River, and only by being here can you truly appreciate why locals call it Diaoshuilou — the name fits perfectly.
