Pearl Shoal Waterfall

Pearl Shoal Waterfall extends 310 meters in width and drops 40 meters, creating multiple cascading levels over limestone formations in northern Sichuan Province.

The waterfall formed through centuries of geological processes where rainwater dissolved limestone, creating extensive karst formations within the Jiuzhaigou Valley system.

The water feature holds importance for local Tibetan communities who have lived in the surrounding mountains of Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve for generations.

Visitors reach the waterfall by taking a shuttle bus to Five Flower Lake stop and following marked wooden boardwalks through the national park system.

The cascade flows over calcified rock formations containing high concentrations of minerals, allowing small trees to grow directly within the waterfall structure.
