Pearl Shoal Waterfall, Sichuan, China

Situated on one of the tributaries of the Bailong Jiang river in northern Sichuan Province, the Pearl Shoal waterfall is regarded as the most beautiful in Jiuzhaigou Valley National Park.


It gets its name from the pearly droplets of water it creates as it cascades down the shoal towards the fall. For the best view, follow the wooden boardwalk that runs across the shoal and down one side to the foot of the falls.
