Last updated 2026-11-16 — Baishui Waterfall is located beneath the Shuangji Summit of Ehuangzhang in Bacha Town, Yangchun City, Guangdong Province. At an altitude of 585 meters, it has a vertical drop of 225 meters. It can be seen from as far as 10 kilometers away and its roar can be heard within 5 kilometers. The waterfall plunges into a pool several zhang (approximately 10 meters) wide and unfathomably deep. By the pool are several large rocks, some as big as a house, with one flat rock measuring around 10 square meters. In the 13th year of the Daoguang reign (1833), Lin Zhaotang, the top imperial scholar, visited Bacha and inscribed the three characters “Shuyu Platform” (literally “Jade-Rinsing Terrace”) on the cliff face of the waterfall. Stopping here to view the waterfall, you’ll feel as though the mountains rise right before your face and the water pours down from the heavens. The thunderous sound, the rain-like spray, and the gale-force winds reaching level 6 to 7 within a hundred feet create a truly spectacular scene. Rafting drifts with the wind, while a thin mist embraces the red rainbow at sunrise. The Qing Dynasty writer Qu Dajun recorded the vivid phrase “Even white apes dare not drink from this pool; all day long the thunder roars across the ridge” in his work *Guangdong New Discussions* (*Guangdong Xinyu*).
