 The waterfall leaps down over a 46-meter-high
precipice at the outlet of the Dayinjiang River, 1.5 kilometres
away in the west of the county town, diffusing vapour all around.
In sunshine, a rainbow rises from among the steaming vapour. There
is an inscription of four Chinese characters - Jian Sao Feng Yan,
carved on a cliff beside the waterfall, in which the calligrapher
compared the waterfall to "a sword that sweeps away the dense
miasma". Arching the river before it leaps down is the famous
Taijiqiao Bridge constructed by Zhang Wenguang, the leader of the
Tengyue uprising in 1911 responding to Dr. Sun Yat-sen's call.
