Shuikou Rainbow Waterfall

　　The Shuikou Rainbow Waterfall in Jinggangshan is one of the two major waterfalls in the area, located on the left side of Wuzhi Peak in Jinggangshan, Jiangxi Province. It is formed where two massive natural rocks come together like a giant mouth, swallowing the waters from two mountain streams—the ones flowing down from Shuangma Stone and Bamian Mountain—into a single torrent of clear water. Then, this torrent gushes violently from the “mouth’s corner,” cascading down the cliffs, splashing and tumbling through the air like pearls and jades before finally forming the spectacular trapezoidal waterfall we see today, standing 96 meters high and over 10 meters wide. This is also how the site got its name, Shuikou (Water Mouth).

　　From 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. during summer, when sunlight shines on the waterfall, a beautiful rainbow appears within the cascading waters, displaying vibrant, multicolored arcs that shift positions as visitors move up or down the steps. When you walk up the stone stairs, the rainbow appears at the upper part of the waterfall; when you descend, it shifts to the lower part.

　　At the base of the waterfall, there is also a natural rock basin with a pool of emerald-green water where several stone turtles swim freely. Not far from the Rainbow Waterfall, there is an observation deck where you can view the waterfall up close and also gaze at the main peak of Jinggangshan—Wuzhi Peak—from afar.
