Glasses Hole Waterfall

Glasses Hole Waterfall is a natural cascade in Pingxi District that flows down from surrounding rock formations and creates a dramatic water feature. The falls cascade in sections and produce visible mist at several viewing locations where visitors can observe the water in motion.

The area was long isolated in the mountains until railway development in the 1900s made it easier for people to reach the site. After this connection improved, the region gradually became a destination for day trips and nature visitors.

The site is popular with people from the surrounding region who come here to spend time with family and enjoy the natural setting. Visitors are drawn to the waterfall for its role as a gathering place where people connect with the landscape.

The site is reachable on foot and best visited in the morning when weather is clear and paths are dry. Wearing proper footwear is recommended since the route passes through forested terrain where surfaces can be slippery.

The name comes from a smaller nearby cascade that forms a shape resembling eyeglasses when viewed from certain angles. This distinctive feature is why visitors find the location so appealing and keep returning to capture different views.
