Day 3: Jiu Long Pu Bu (九龙瀑布)

Our second stop today was Jiu Long Pu Bu (九龙瀑布). It's listed as the 4th most beautiful place and 6th most beautiful waterfalls in China.

Mr Wang drove us to the West entrance which is also the back door of Jiu Long Pu Bu. Canola fields greeted us when we stepped out of the car. :) The main entrance doesn't have any canola fields.

The entrance ticket into Jiu Long Pu Bu is RMB 60. The place is huge so it's advisable to orientate yourself a bit.

More canola awaited us behind the west gate. :)

Horse carriages are available at the entrance. And naturally we hopped onto one. :) We wanted to minimize walking as much as possible. :)))

The horse carriage took us to a certain distance and we had to alight from it & explore the rest of the place ourselves. :) Thank goodness it's cooler today as it was about 9ish am in the morning.

Mar/Apr is also the season of plum blossoms. We were fortunate to see some. That was a bonus for us! :D Can you tell the difference between plum blossoms & cherry blossoms? :)

A young couple was having their bridal pics taken here. :) I'm not sure if they are enjoying the process as the bride kept complaining about the wind & her hair! Hahhahahah :))) Everything seems rather pretty until the photographer's assistant pulled out a floral bouquet resembling a huge torch. I would rather they just gather some random bunches of blooms. It would fit the setting much better. : O 

There are a total of 10 waterfalls scattered along a 2km section of the Jiulong River.

We were able to see the activities below by zooming in with the camera lens. :)

You could choose to walk down the mountain to the other scenic spots at Jiu Long Pu Bu. We chose to take the tram down instead. :) One way tram ride is RMB 30 per person. Things aren't cheap in China now. It's no wonder there are so few of us in the tram.

At the foot of the mountain, we spotted names on many bamboo plants. Ann followed suit & carved our names on one too. :) Vandalism is permissible here?

Ann at work :)

More waterfalls :)

Have a Coca-cola, have a break. ;) We needed to sit...

More canola...

We spent some time figuring our way out as we didn't realize there are two entrances. We spent another RMB 30 each to take the tram back up & Mr Wang had gotten the horseman & carriage to wait for us there to take us back to the west entrance where he was waiting. :) How thoughtful.
