Simian Mountain (四面山, Sìmiàn Shān), located in the north part of Jiangjin District, Chongqing, China, is a transitive zone between the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau and the Sichuan Basin.[1] Because of the hot, humid climate and abundant rainfall, the area is heavily forested.[2]
It is the location of several significant waterfalls. Wangxiangtai (the Balcony of Nostalgia) Waterfall, 150 meters high and 40 meters wide, is one of the well-known waterfalls in China, and consists of many small waterfalls; Shuikoushi Waterfall is noted for its grand scale.
Snaking its way among the valleys on Simian Mountain, the current of Chaba River feeds a number of lakes, of which the most majestic one is known as Great Red Sea.
