Tiger Mouth Waterfall, A Thunderous Waterfall Plunging into the Abyss

Introduction

The waterfall located in the Tiger Mouth of Motuo is named after its shape resembling a tiger's mouth. The canyon is a deep V-shaped canyon with a massive drop. The steep plank path is carved on the cliff halfway up the mountain, while the "Tiger Mouth" refers to the groove that resembles a tiger mouth and several collapsed areas nearby. The waterfall line hangs in the air, like a galaxy upside down, suddenly falling from the cliff and making earth-shattering roars as it falls into the abyss.
