If you're driving, you can navigate to the Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall Visitor Center. After parking, enter the visitor center. There are two access points to the Grand Waterfall and Qiongtai Fairy Valley. The Grand Waterfall is located uphill. From the lower entrance of Qiongtai Fairy Valley, you need to take a bus for about five minutes to reach the entrance. You can then walk down. This route is recommended. It's relatively energy-efficient.
The 165 yuan package includes admission to both the Grand Waterfall and Qiongtai Fairy Valley, as well as admission to the glass bridge from Qiongtai to the Grand Waterfall. More importantly, it includes an elevator ride from the valley floor to the glass bridge entrance, which takes about one minute to reach the top, saving time and effort. The walk from the glass bridge to the Grand Waterfall and all the way to the scenic area's exit takes 90-100 minutes.
While the hike is quite long, the path is relatively easy. The descent, especially to the waterfall, provides close proximity to the waterfall, with a breathtaking view every few steps. It's well worth the visit.
In summary: Although it's an artificial waterfall, it's worth visiting. The hike is quite long, so it's recommended to walk from the top down. Wear sunscreen, as there are few trees blocking the view from the glass bridge to the waterfall. There are many shops along the way where you can replenish water and snacks. The scenic spot is a ten-minute drive from the county seat.
Sister Xu at the information desk deserves full marks for her kindness and good heart. She explained the itinerary very carefully and patiently arranged the optimal route based on the number of people, and explained it in great detail. The scenery is truly a landscape scroll, with mountains, water, pavilions, and waterfalls. There were elderly people and children, so there were definitely some omissions, but it was perfect enough. We walked straight to the waterfall and walked to the platform for close-up photos, which took more than half an hour. We returned the same way and took a free bus to Qiongtai to experience the tranquility of Baxian Lake and the rainbow in the waterfall. 🌈 We sat on the promenade and enjoyed the emerald green and coolness of Baxian Lake. After walking half a circle around the lake, the elderly returned the same way and took a bus to the visitor center to rest. The young people continued to climb the slope to the Sky Ladder, which was more time-consuming and strenuous. Upon reaching the Sky Ladder, the 345-meter-long glass bridge opened immediately, with no shelter and plenty of sun exposure. After crossing the glass bridge, we quickly reached the bus stop and took the bus down the mountain. The whole process was effortless.

The scenic area is quite far, and a taxi takes over 40 minutes. There is a shuttle bus from the service center, which costs 40 yuan round trip, but it leaves on the hour. The scenic area is small and beautiful, with few tourists, and the waterfall is very unique. Jianjian Spring is quite far away and can be easily overlooked.
I took a taxi to the old entrance, then walked all the way to the new entrance to take a taxi to the city. The whole trip took less than 2 hours and was not too tiring. The whole way was surrounded by green trees and it was very cool. Compared with the Tiantai Mountain Waterfall I visited the day before, I personally prefer Shiliang.
