Anxi Daping Lion Waterfall is located in the middle section of the more than 2,000-meter-long canyon between Nanshan and Jianshan at the junction of Tong'an and Anxi (near Daping Township, Anxi). It is named because its spout resembles an angry lion. The Xiongshi Waterfall is 100 meters high and 52 meters wide. It has abundant water and rushes all year round. It is known as "the first waterfall in southern Fujian". The huge water curtain roars and roars like a lion's roar, echoing in the valley, hence the name Lion Falls. This stream is also the upper reaches of the dividing line between Anxi and Tongan. It is surrounded by hundreds of acres of primeval secondary forest. People who are unfamiliar with this area can easily get lost. Thousands of ancient trees grow and dozens of wild animals and plants thrive. It is the main landscape of Daping in Anxi. June 7th happened to be Sunday, and a total of 11 travel friends made an appointment to go to Xiongshi Falls in three cars. Because the AA travel system is not profit-oriented, you bear the risk at your own risk. One day in advance, each travel friend purchased a ticket on the certain platform on the same day.

(The original plan was to meet at the Danxi Village bus station when the three cars were returning from the lower reaches of the waterfalls one day in advance. We stopped at Danxi Village for a while. Leave one car there, and everyone will take two cars and park above the Lion Falls. After the tour is over, everyone will go directly back to Danxi Village. Everyone will stay where they are and wait, and the car parked there will take the two drivers. Driving for 20 minutes to the top of the waterfall group, two cars drove back, which can save at least 2 hours of walking time). When waiting for the arrival of the other two cars, when it was almost 10 o'clock, the other two cars had already stopped at the waterfall. The group was over the top, and their personnel had already reached the waterfall. At this time, the plan was messed up, and I had no choice but to drive over with my car. It took more than 20 minutes to drive to get there. The time we arrived at the stone monument showed that it was already 10:33.
10:41 I parked the car, walked to the left, and immediately turned right, heading up the tea garden hillside, and then walked down the mountain road for dozens of minutes. The road was very slippery because of the rain, and I almost slipped and fell several times. At 1 o'clock we finally arrived at the bottom of the first waterfall group.
It started to rain heavily soon, and everyone held umbrellas across the canyon. Because it had just rained, the rocks on the side of the canyon were very slippery. I was carrying more than 30 kilograms of weight and almost slipped several times. It was extremely difficult to move forward. When there is deep water, I just jump across the rocks. I am really worried that if I accidentally slip down, the consequences will be disastrous. There are no rocks to step over, so I can only dig through the bushes and reeds. My whole body and shoes will get wet easily.
After crossing the canyon, prepare to walk through the jungle bushes. There are virgin forests on both sides. You can only identify the direction by following the traces of previous travel companions. During this period, there were many obvious signs "Blue Sky Rescue Team Positioning Sign" hanging in the places I passed. I felt very warm instantly. There are many large caterpillars in the virgin forest that will stick to the clothes and are extremely easy to be stung. I have to check them from time to time. Going down the mountain While walking, I accidentally slipped down the canyon. Everyone could only carefully follow the small bamboos or tree roots and vines next to them. Several travelers slipped and fell along the way. Fortunately, they all grabbed the things next to them and stepped on them from time to time. The rocks will slide down the valley, and it is also very dangerous for teammates below. It is recommended that everyone prepare a safety helmet next time they go out, and the backpack zipper must be tightened. My backpack may be dragged by branches, the zipper is opened, and the SLR falls down. I immediately rolled down the cliff to the bottom of the waterfall. I put down my backpack and rushed to catch up. Fortunately, my SLR had a shock-proof bag. The shoulder straps were hanging on the branches on the shore. I missed the waterfall more than 2 meters away and almost missed it. Falling into the water is too dangerous. People traveling next time must pay attention to their own safety and the valuables in their backpacks.
The waterfalls are all beautiful. The huge water curtain pours down, and the roar like a lion's roar echoes in the valley. It is extremely spectacular. Suddenly, I find that human beings are extremely small and fragile in front of nature. It was already 14:30 when we arrived here.
