Nuorilang Waterfall 诺日朗瀑布, Jiuzhaigou

Nuorilang Waterfall, Jiuzhaigou (17 October, 2005)

Nuorilang Falls (Simplified Chinese: 诺日朗瀑布; 諾日朗瀑布; Pinyin: 諾日朗瀑布 Nuòrìlǎng Pùbù) in Jiuzhaigou Valley is the widest waterfall in China. It is 320 metres wide and 20 metres high. The name Nuorilang means "majestic" in the Tibetan language. It is located near the intersection of where the Jiuzhaigou valley branches off to Zechawa Gully and Rize Gully. It is visible from the roadside, where steps lead downwards to a viewing platform. The platform allows visitors to view the falls upclose and to walk alongside the river as it flows down the gully.

On the opposite site of the road is another viewing platform where visitors can get a panoramic view of the whole Nuorilang Falls. You can feel the energy that surges down the fall as you stand there on the wooden platform and be enveloped by the spray. And because of that, it is so difficult to photograph.
