Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the entrance of the Shimen Waterfall, is a treasure land which is blessed with luxuriant forests, countless cultural relics, wonderful cataracts and pleasant climates. It can be regarded as a "cave fairyland" with the characteristics of being peaceful, quiet, spiritual, ancient, fantastic, dangerous, wild and interesting.

It’s not only rich in ancient cultural relics such as primitive mountain villages, secluded ancient temples and historical Taoist abbeys, but also endowed with amazing waterfall groups, magnificent ups and downs of the mountains, graceful winding Oujiang and its tributaries, lush and expansive forests, rare alpine meadows, varied mountain climates, odd and dangerous caves and abundant wild animal and plant resources.

There are various breathtaking waterfalls with disparate characters here. Pouring down from the 1125-meter cliff, the cataract resembles a white silk when viewed from afar, and looks like bouncing beads and silver mist when water splashing on the ground. In addition, next to it stands towering stiffs, layers of rocks and luxuriant trees.
