A Great Summer Retreat - Taiping Mountain Waterfall in Hainan Province
Taiping Mountain Waterfall
Taiping Mountain Waterfall is located 6 kilometers northeast of Wuzhishan City in Hainan Province. The peaks of Taiping Mountain are lush with vegetation and the rocks are uniquely shaped. The waterfall itself is even more magnificent and spectacular, offering a unique landscape and warm local customs that provide a refreshing and pleasant feeling.
Not only does Taiping Mountain Waterfall boast beautiful scenery, but it also has stories that are even more enchanting than the landscape. Legend has it that in the ancient times, there was a naturally destined couple. The young man was smart and honest, hardworking and capable, while the girl was beautiful and kind, good at singing and dancing. However, there lived an 'evil ghost' outside the mountain who wanted to take the beautiful girl as his concubine. One dark night, the couple was unfortunately captured by the 'evil ghost'. As they were passing by the waterfall, the young man was pushed off the cliff by the 'evil ghost'. The devoted girl sang 9,999 love songs on the edge of the cliff. Just as she was about to join her lover in death, she saw her beloved. It turned out that when the young man fell off the cliff, he was saved by the mountain god. With the help of the mountain god, he defeated the 'evil ghost' and met his beloved who had already escaped. In the end, the lovers were united. To commemorate them, people named the mountain Taiping Mountain, and the waterfall Taiping Mountain Waterfall.
