Jinyue Waterslide

WHAT TO EXPECT?

Super fun high waterslide!

It’s a great place to hang out for the day, having a barbecue or picnic. You have some sun and plenty of shade if needed.

Plus, sliding the waterfall is really really fun. Its popular amongst locals and tourists so you get to meet some awesome people! But it might get really crowded.

From there you can actually follow the river up to the huge Jinyue Waterfall! The river trace is really fun. Read our River Tracing to Jinyue Waterfall Article to know more about it.
