Tianqiao Waterfalls lie to the east of Mountain Baicaotuo, 30 kilometers southwest of Fuping County Seat. There are 9 great falls and a natural bridge. The falls are appraised by experts as the largest waterfall group in the north of China and the bridge is the largest natural bridge formed by metamorphic rocks.
The waterfalls lie in a ravine connected with Mountain Baicaotuo. The drop of the highest Yaotai Waterfalls is 112.5 meters. Tiansheng Bridge is formed by washout and collapse. It is 27 meters long, 13 meters wide and 13 meters high. Combined with Mountain Yaotai Milky Way Waterfall, it has the largest flow and the highest drop to form a natural geological spectacle. During the wet season, the water pours down, just like ten thousand horses galloping. During the dry season, the water babbles down, with clear and melodious sound, just like a concerto of light music. In winter, the water freezes, forming thousands of icicles of various sizes and shapes, just like jade sculptures, which are extraordinary as if done by the spirits.
Mountain Baicaotuo is 2,144.5 meters above sea level. High mountain, grotesque peak and green grass make the Scenery very beautiful. The scenic area covers an area of over one hundred thousand mu and everything is in a wild state. It is said, “There are a hundred kinds of grass, a hundred kinds of flowers and a hundred kinds of herbs.” According to folklore, the story “Precious Lotus Lantern” happened in Liaodaobei Village on the western side of Mountain Baicaotuo.
