Santan waterfall

Santan waterfall is located in zhaojiadian Township described by dayaoyi people, about 30 kilometers away from the county. This area belongs to the dragonfly Valley, a tributary of Jinsha River. Due to the geological movement, the valley formed a fault, and the section was divided into three steps. The river flows down the section, forming three deep pools, hence the name "three pools". The average annual runoff of the dragonfly river is 629 million cubic meters, and the flow is constant all the year round, so the waterfall can be seen all the year round. The total fall of Santan waterfall is 220.28 meters. In summer and autumn, the rain falls sharply and the mountain torrent breaks out. The flood is like a dragon, surging down like a huge thunder. At ordinary times, there is no flood. The clear river breaks on the three mesas and pours down to the "three pools". It is like a waterfall falling in the sky. It stirs up countless drops of water like Jasper. The clear deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall reflects the green mountains on both sides like a mirror. Santan waterfall is one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Dayao. On the rocky bank beside the pool, the ancient vines are twining, the hundred year old trees are standing proudly, and the roots are spreading. In contrast to the old rattan trees, there are deep caves and stalactites. In spring, summer and autumn, there are countless swifts hovering over the waterfall all day long. Admission: at present, the scenic spot is an open scenic spot, free of admission. Transportation: Santan waterfall is located next to the newly built nanyong highway.

Santan waterfall

Santan waterfall, also known as Shuanggou waterfall, is located in Dayao County, Chuxiong Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Dayao, and is the highest waterfall in Southwest China.

Santan waterfall is a group of waterfalls. There are 33 cascades in the river less than 4 km long. The order is from upstream to downstream. The first cascade is 19 meters high, with a pool of misty water and beautiful shape; the second cascade is 121 meters high, and the third cascade is 82 meters high. The second and third cascades dance all day long with water balls, mist, continuous rain, and sound of waterfalls. The three cascades are integrated, and the river flows down the section, forming three deep pools. The total fall of Santan waterfall is 220.28 meters, which is the highest waterfall in Southwest China.

As early as 1941, Long Yun, chairman of the Yunnan provincial government, fell in love with the beautiful scenery of the three pools when he inspected the dragonfly river. He couldn't restrain his inner passion and wrote Shuanggou enjoying Feiquan, which has been handed down to this day. The poem says:

It is difficult to swim without water in the mountains, and the scenery is not quiet without water;

All the rocks and rocks are at the bottom of the river, and the waterfall is Shuanggou.

Red flowers and green trees grow up, and the days are blue and the rain is not collected;

Can you bear to go at the beginning? Immortal bell is not old, water flows.

It's a good day to pursue Sima and leave Chu and Han far away.

Longyun, who has traveled from south to north, makes an objective comparison between Dayao Santan and Hangzhou West Lake, which is the "paradise on earth": the silver waterfall in Shuanggou and the green soft waves in West Lake are both wonderful. Before traveling to the West Lake, you will definitely get a special feeling when you visit the waterfall in Shuanggou.

On the rocky bank beside the waterfall pool, the ancient vines are twining, the hundred year old trees are standing proudly, and the roots are spreading. The deep karst caves and stalactites are corresponding to the old rattan trees. In spring, summer and autumn, there are countless swifts hovering and lingering over the waterfall all day long.

The scenery of the waterfall has four distinct seasons: in the rainy season, the waterfall is majestic and magnificent, like a dragon going out to sea, like ten thousand horses galloping, and the sound of the waves is breathtaking. The sound of the water can be heard thousands of meters away; in winter and spring, the water of the waterfall is like three white lines hanging in the mountains, and the ball bearing broken jade falling into the deep pool, like a belt, like a pearl curtain, "flying down three thousand feet, condensing into the Milky way falling nine days" In the bottom, countless water drops like Jasper are aroused, and the clear water in the deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall reflects the green mountains on both sides like a mirror. This area belongs to the dragonfly Valley, a tributary of Jinsha River. The average annual runoff of dragonfly river is 629 million cubic meters, and the water flow is constant all the year round, so waterfalls can be seen all the year round.

Santan is a natural poem and a natural painting. Yitan, located at the top, is white and dazzling. The curtain falls down. The deep pool looks like Jasper. The water drops are surging, the ripples are silvery, the water mist is diffuse, and the rainbow is shining. It is said that the fairy bathing at night, and the auspicious light goes straight to the Milky way.

Among the three pools, Ertan is the most spectacular. The waterfall is 111.5 meters high. The torrent from the pool, like a broken jade poured into the center of the pool, first flows out of the pool with water, then breaks into beads, and then turns into drizzle. When it reaches the edge of the pool, it becomes mist, and looks like a crystal silk curtain in the distance. Mica screen hanging in the valley, dazzling, "to the waterfall a few miles, there is still flying graupel Ming blowing people's clothes.".

The water of the two pools comes from the sky, and the water of the three pools comes from the two pools. The fall of the three pools is 80 meters, and the beauty of the three pools is not just the waterfall. Cliffs, caves, rocks, famous flowers and trees constitute a perfect landscape group.

Standing in front of the waterfall, looking at the surging spring, the hustle and bustle of the city and the impetuousness of life all flow away with the flowing water in this moment.

The average annual runoff of the dragonfly river is 629 million cubic meters, and the flow is constant all the year round, so the waterfall can be seen all the year round. The total fall of Santan waterfall is 220.28 meters. In summer and autumn, the rain falls sharply and the mountain torrent breaks out. The flood is like a dragon, surging down like a huge thunder. At ordinary times, there is no flood, and the clear river breaks on the three mesas and pours down to the "three pools". It is like a waterfall falling in the sky, which arouses countless drops of water like Jasper. The sparkling waves of the deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall make the clear deep pool reflect the green mountains on both sides like a mirror.
