Pearl Shoal Waterfall, Jiuzhaigou, China

The Pearl Shoal Waterfall was the first of three waterfalls in the reserve that we saw by foot. It turned out that this waterfall was fairly typical of the cascades that run through the Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve as the water tended to be rich in minerals.

the Pearl Shoal Waterfall is located in Jiuzhaigou, at an altitude of 2,433 metres (7,982 ft), the top of the waterfall is 162.5 metres (533 ft) in width. It has a fall of 40 metres (130 ft).
