Pearl Shoal Waterfall, Jiuzhaigou

Pearl Shoal Falls, Jiuzhaigou (17 October, 2005)


Pearl Shoal (Simplified Chinese: 珍珠滩; Traditional Chinese: 珍珠灘; Pinyin: Zhēnzhū Tān) is one of the most magnificent sights in Jiuzhaigou Valley. It is located in Rize Gully, at an elevation of 2433 meters. The Pearl Shoal is a wide, gently sloping area over which a thin sheet of water cascades down a 20 degree gradient. The water empties into the spectacular Pearl Shoal Waterfall, which drops 28 meter over a broad 310 meter curtain. A wooden walkway leads across the shoal and down one side to the foot of the falls.

The Pearl Shoal got its name from the sparkling effect of droplets that resemble pearls as they cascade down the shoal towards the fall.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
