The waterfall of Yingzidong cave is 6 meters wide, and with the drop of 36 meters. The waterfall looks like a silver curtain hanging down from the above. Over 100 caves lie at the side cliff of the waterfall, which look like a huge honeycomb. Each of the caves connects together. It is very amazing for people to visit. The scenery of the waterfall and caves is accredited as the “splendid scenery in Jianghan”. The water in the stream is very clear. Tianxi stream with nine steps is 6.2 to 9.6 meters in width.
