The Jinfoshang Mt. Wilderness Tour area (Simian Mountains Area)

Mt. Simian strategically crisscrosses Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan provinces and the Chongqing municipality yet located in the northern part of Jiangjing County. The favorable climate and sufficient rainfall has made this entire region into a dense lush forest. There are many waterfalls and some are yet unnamed. Wangxiangtai (the Balcony of Nostalgia) Waterfall at 150 meters high and 40 meters wide is one of the major waterfalls in China but it is many up of many smaller waterfalls. Shuikoushi Waterfall is noted for its grand scale, snaking its way among the valleys on Mt Simian, with the current of Chaba River causing a number of lakes to form, of which the most majestic one is known as the great Red Sea.
