The Sidonggou Valley means "a valley with four openings" and is 17 kilometers away from Chishui with a new stone pathway running through the valley that takes one past four exceptionally beautiful waterfalls of varying heights. The valley is covered with green bamboo trees, plants, arbor trees and a large variety of ferns, most of which are the tree fern (spinulose tree fern). The surrounding area, crisscrossed by ancient tracks, is an excellent walking area for hikers, and provides a taste of village life. Farmers here live simply and naturally, far from modern society.
 
Shizhangdong Scenic spot is 37 kilometers from Chishui, a beautiful valley through which one can enjoy a multi stepped waterfall and a wide variety of ferns and some exotic plants unknown to most visitors. Nearby is 6000 hectares of primeval forest with rare animals and plants. The famous Shizhangdong Fall is situated on the Fengxihe River, a branch of the Chishui River in the southeast of Chishui County. 72 meters high and 68 meters wide, the water drops into a semi-circular pool with a deafening roar. Visitors can walk down to the river level and stand behind the roaring curtain of water to feel the power of the fall.
 
Walking down along the green valley is also a delightful and enjoyable experience. The Fengxi River, 70 kilometers long, originates from Huangjinba of Gulan County in Sichuan Province and flows finally into the Chishui River near the city of Chishui. With a sharp drop of 192 meters within the 3.5 kilometers long valley, the Fengxi, down from Shizhangdong, becomes a group of multi-step falls, rushing forward, pouring down angrily and then rolling thunderously on again like a fierce dragon. Of all these grand falls, the most magnificent main fall is Shizhangdong. The main fall is the second largest in Guizhou Province, only second to the Huangguoshu Waterfall. Two kilometers down from the Shizhangdong Waterfall, there is another big fall called Zhongdong Fall, 60 meters wide and 20 meters high. It looks much gentler. Looking down from a mountaintop nearby, visitors may feel as if there were huge white curtains hanging on the cliffs in the valley.
