No wonder it’s called the “Number One Waterfall Under Heaven.” Here’s a detailed guide so clear you could follow it with your eyes closed!

Who would understand! Standing at the foot of Baizhangji Waterfall, it feels like the entire mountain’s water is smashing onto your face 🌊! Holding your phone up, it almost gets “slapped” away by the mist—this isn’t just watching a waterfall, it’s like getting up close and personal with nature! After visiting once, you’ll understand why everyone online says “Baizhangji is worth it.” This heartfelt guide will teach you how to experience the three-tier waterfall in an “epic” way 📸! 🌊 Three-tier waterfall: each with its own shock, each soaking you differently • First Tier · “Heaven’s Leak” sensation: The 207-meter drop of the “Number One Waterfall Under Heaven.” Standing on the viewing platform looking up, the waterfall looks like the Milky Way crashing down from the clouds, and the mist can drench you like a soaked chicken! ⚠️ Don’t believe “stand farther away and you won’t get wet”—when the wind blows, the mist can drift 10 meters away, turning your hair into “seaweed” instantly, but this overwhelming feeling of being crushed by nature is just too addictive! • Second Tier · Water Curtain Cave soaking party: Go right into the waterfall! Passing through the water curtain cave, the water flows like thousands of ice arrows shooting at you, even your eyelashes drip with water 💧 (the park provides free raincoats, but it’s recommended to tuck your pant legs tight; tested personally, fish could live in my shoes…). Even better, there’s a free hairdryer at the cave exit! Listening to the roar of the waterfall while drying your hair, you might feel like you’re filming a special effects scene from “Journey to the West.” • Third Tier · Gentle and wide enough to “lie flat”: The widest third tier looks like a giant green silk cloth, with a gentle flow, perfect for leisurely panoramic shots from the viewing pavilion. At sunset, the waterfall glows golden, blending with the distant mountains into a painting, making your phone’s live photo instantly legendary 🌇! 🚶‍♀️ Two routes: both lazy travelers & special forces can win 🔹 Lazy Route (2-3 hours, downhill version): North Gate Visitor Center → Find the cave elevator (don’t follow the arrows to take the scenic shuttle! Learned the hard way: wrong path adds an hour) → First Tier (feel the pressure) → Second Tier (soaking check-in) → Third Tier (finish with panoramic shots) → Take the shuttle from South Gate back to North Gate. ✅ Advantages: See the most stunning first tier first, then get easier; elevator saves your legs, good for elders and kids. 🔹 Special Forces Route (3-4 hours, hiking version): Take the scenic shuttle from North Gate to South Gate → Third Tier (warm-up) → Second Tier (soaking) → First Tier (climax) → Cave elevator back to North Gate. ✅ Advantages: Gradually increasing shock, the calm third tier contrasts with the majestic first tier, making photos more storytelling. 📸 Best spots: “Frame” the waterfall in your lens • Second Tier Water Curtain Cave: Stand at the cave entrance side, let the waterfall be the background, lean forward, feel the mist on your face, capture the moment of “being embraced by nature” (remember to use burst mode, 1 out of 10 shots will be legendary); • Third Tier Viewing Pavilion: Walk to the edge of the pavilion, use telephoto to shoot the panoramic waterfall, framing the mountains and water into a painting, instantly boosting the atmosphere; • First Tier Lower Boardwalk: Shoot from a low angle looking up, letting the waterfall pour down from above, crop out the excess in post, instantly turning it into a movie poster of “small and shocked under the waterfall.” 🚌 Transportation & Expenses: Spend money wisely • Transportation: ✔️ Take the bus from Wenzhou South Station underground bus station (buy one-way ticket on Trip.com, earliest at 9:20, about 2 hours), sit on the right window side on the way! The mountains are lush and the rice fields golden, like watching a National Geographic documentary; ✔️ Return tickets must be bought at the park visitor center, with departures at 15:00/16:00/17:00, don’t miss the last bus! • Expense details (average 187 RMB per person): Round-trip bus 51×2 + ticket 55 + cave elevator 20 + scenic shuttle 10 → Seems pricey, but compared to the “world-class shock,” it’s worth crying over! (Secret: student tickets are cheaper, remember your ID) ⚠️ Pitfall warnings from experience 1. Don’t skimp on raincoats: the park provides free ones, but it’s recommended to bring a long raincoat yourself (the free ones are short and easily wet your pant legs); 2. Phone waterproofing: mist can seep into the lens, wrap it well with waterproof bags or cling film, or you’ll be crying while editing photos; 3. Time planning: try to arrive early! After 3 PM the light softens, making photos even better, but leave enough time for the return trip; 4. Second Tier hairdryer: it’s crowded and you’ll need to queue, so shoot first then dry, or you’ll miss the best light.
