In an instant, dozens of snow peaks are all covered with a golden dazzling light, which is magnificent and brilliant. This scenery is the famous "Rizhao Jinshan".
The Great Ice Waterfall
The Great Ice Waterfall, with a width of 500-1,100m and a height of 1,080m, is the largest and most spectacular glacier waterfall ever discovered in China. It is more than 10 times larger than the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall, which is magnificent and extraordinary.
