Surrounded by a few minority villages such as the Dai villages and the Ha Ni villages, the Man Dian Waterfall is located 27 kilometres off Jun Hong City. With more than 10 cascades and a fall of 20 meters it’s a spectacular sight against lush greenery that surrounds it. It is not difficult to hear the thunderous sound of the waterfall from hundreds of meters away.
Travellers who begin their journey from Man Dian village are able to witness the first level of the fall 2.5 kilometres from the village. This cascade is the greatest one among the ten and possesses strangely beautiful scenery. The walk from the village is also an exciting one as you find your way through to the waterfall among thick shrubs and trees and here it sits with its roots exposed a spectacular 10 meter tall tree.
The virgin forest on which the Man Dian Waterfall sits is home to many eco systems and many interesting species of flora and fauna. Ancient, beautiful broad leaved trees surround the waterfall. It rushes through the cliffs and creates a feathery mist in the surrounding area, making this journey a magical experience. Strolling around an ancient forest, admiring the magnificence of the waterfall and the fresh rainforest feel of the surrounding environment, it would be a surprise if you want to linger here for longer and absorb a bit of the natural splendour around you.
