In addition, the beauty and uniqueness of Shifen Waterfall lie in its extraordinary terrain – the direction of the water flow is opposite to that of the rock strata. As a result, when the water reflects off the stream, it appears golden yellow. And when the water rushes down rapidly and hits the rocks, it splashes dramatically, showcasing the site’s endless charm and atmosphere.
