The Three Cascade Waterfall Originating in Dayue Mountain, the spring angles around the backside of Five-Old-Men Peak and pours into Nine Tier Gully, crashing twice upon rocks, and then converges into a torrent, and drops once again. Driven by the gully wind, the tiny drops dancing in the misty air, sparkling in the sunlight and falling like countless dazzling pearls.
