Nuorilang Waterfall - A Length of Brocade in the Jungle

Nuorilang Waterfall is ranked as one of "China's Six Most Beautiful Waterfalls" by China National Geography Magazine.
Jiuzhaigou, in northern Sichuan, is named as "fairyland on the earth", where Waterfalls and streams link 108 lakes of various sizes, many of which are classic ribbon lakes at the base of glacially formed valleys. Also of note are a number of large and spectacular waterfalls.
Of all the charming waterfalls in Jiuzhaigou, the Nuorilang Waterfall is the most sunning. Nuorilang means "grand and magnificent" in Tibetan. It is about 2,365 meters high above sea level, 325 meters across at its widest point, with a headfall of 30-40 meters and an average flow of 5.8 cubic meters per second. The faulting here has formed steep slopes and waterfalls, and, because of abrupt changes in the water velocity, carbon dioxide in the water is released, forming travertine deposits on the steep slopes and creating a major, multi-level travertine waterfall. It has altogether 18 lakes separated by delicate travertine dikes. The water flows over and runs down in tiered cascades and as the water from all the lakes rushes out of the forest, it crashes down as the spectacular Nuorilang Waterfall. It is a rare "forest waterfall" as the cliff down which the waterfall runs is covered with thriving trees. As the seasons change, the lakes take on a new appearance. In Spring and Summer, dense willows and bright flowers crowd the banks and the waters are full of life; in Autumn, seasonal red leaves and colorful fruits create a charming Lakeland scene; in winter, the water freeze, glittering with beauty beauty and purity.
When night falls, the waterfall shows its other charms. In the darkness, the mountains become quiet and solemn; the lakes both big and small gleam dark blue; in the mist, the only thing stirring is a silvery white belt, moving gently to the murmuring of water. Although surrounded by limitless darkness, the waterfall is still a sacred streamer, full of life-force, like the pulse of the plateau.
