Due to the large altitude difference between the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain, and the obvious temperature difference between the two, coupled with the short sunshine time, water is not easy to evaporate, so the humidity is high and there is a lot of water vapor. When water vapor rises or the fog lingers after a rain, a sea of ??clouds will form. After a rain, it is common to see green smoke rising from the valley. In winter and spring every year, due to frequent cold air activity, large areas of sea of ??clouds often appear after rain and snow. At the same time, under the combined influence of topography and airflow, the spectacular Nanjian Rock Sea of ??Clouds is formed.

The pool below the waterfall is shaped like a round pot, with an area of ??about 10 square meters and a depth of about 0.5 meters. It is formed by long-term erosion of the waterfall.
