Nuorilang Waterfall 诺日朗瀑布, Jiuzhaigou

Nuorilang Waterfall, Jiuzhaigou (17 October, 2005)


Nuorilang Falls (Simplified Chinese: 诺日朗瀑布; 諾日朗瀑布; Pinyin: 諾日朗瀑布 Nuòrìlǎng Pùbù) in Jiuzhaigou Valley is the widest waterfall in China. It is 320 metres wide and 20 metres high. The name Nuorilang means "majestic" in the Tibetan language. It is located near the intersection of where the Jiuzhaigou valley branches off to Zechawa Gully and Rize Gully. It is visible from the roadside, where steps lead downwards to a viewing platform. The platform allows visitors to view the falls upclose and to walk alongside the river as it flows down the gully.

On the opposite site of the road is another viewing platform where visitors can get a panoramic view of the whole Nuorilang Falls. You can feel the energy that surges down the fall as you stand there on the wooden platform and be enveloped by the spray. And because of that, it is so difficult to photograph.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
