Last updated 2026-11-15 — Xiangshui Waterfall is located near Dazhao Village in Zhongdu Town, on a shoal of the Luoqing River. The river rushes down with a thunderous roar—distantly like thunder, and up close resembling the beat of drums. This phenomenon occurs all year round, hence the name “Xiangshui” (Resounding Water). On the shoal, the rapid waters cascade with tremendous force; below the shoal, waves surge like thousands of lotus flowers drifting on the water, competing in beauty. Zhou Shu from Guilin once inscribed on the cliff: “Layered lotuses churn the waves, gleaming like snow; myriad valleys roar like thunder as soldiers rush to battle.” Not far from the shoal lies another waterfall, where water droplets splash and silver light glimmers, creating an exceptionally spectacular sight.
