Zhijin Waterfall is located near Machang Village downstream of the Zhijin River in Guiguo Town, Zhijin County. This is a rare natural museum and biodiversity treasure trove, featuring vast, lush primeval forests, dynamic and roaring waterfalls, majestic alpine stone forests, as well as the history of the local Chuanqing people who have lived here for generations, closely tied to the waterfall—altogether showcasing the area's distinctive local customs and culture. Starting in December 2010, Yaxian Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd. in Zhijin County began tourism development around Zhijin Waterfall and the surrounding 5-kilometer area, including its primeval forests, ancient post roads, and the Guanyin Temple. By December 2013, a total investment of nearly 100 million yuan had been made in the entire Zhijin Waterfall scenic area, resulting in the construction of 3,000 meters of tourist boardwalks, a large cultural square spanning 1 hectare, a parking lot covering over 6,000 square meters, and the Yaxian Agricultural Sightseeing Park integrating leisure and entertainment with the scenic area. The cultural square has been included in the China Shanghai "Guinness World Records" and awarded the title of the largest wooden square in China.
Attractions at Zhijin Waterfall include the "Sister-Watching Pavilion," "Lover-Watching Pavilion," and "Waterfall-Watching Pavilion."
