Jiulong Waterfalls 云南羅平九龍瀑布群

 The Jiulong Waterfalls was voted one of the top six most beautiful Chinese waterfalls in a poll by "Chinese National Geography" magazine in 2005. It is a group of wide waterfalls at ten levels in Luopan County of Yunnan Province. The view of the falls varies level by level and they are connected with each other by shoals or pools, creating a fantasy world of water.

Yunnan is dubbed the "Red Earth Plateau" because more than half of its land is covered with red earth. During rainy season, the Jiulong Waterfalls is dyed red by the red earth it carries, making it popular with tourists throughout China.
