雲が垂れこめる山あいに、ひときわ目を引く一本の滝。
In the midst of cloud-covered mountains, a striking waterfall captures the eye.
大地を裂くような断崖の間から、白い水しぶきを上げて流れ落ちるその姿は、まさに自然のアート。
Cascading between steep cliffs that seem to split the earth, its white spray is a true work of natural art.

Towering near the border of China and North Korea, this mountain cradles the waterfall sourced from the volcanic crater lake "Heaven Lake," radiating a mystical beauty as if flowing straight from the heavens.
滝の高さは約68メートル。落ちる水音は、心のざわめきを洗い流すように響き渡ります。
