Wanglushan Waterfall
Don? Lipper
The purple mist is illuminated by sunlight, and the waterfall hangs in front of the mountain.
On the high cliff, it seems to be thousands of feet high, which makes people think that the Milky Way has fallen from heaven to earth.
Poetic:
The sun shines on the incense burner peak, producing purple smoke. Seen from a distance, the waterfall hangs in front of the mountain like a long river.
As if three thousands of feet waters were running down, did the Milky Way descend from the cliff for nine days?

"Looking at Lushan Waterfall" This is a landscape poem written by Li Bai when he was about fifty years old and lived in seclusion in Lushan. This poem depicts the scenery of Lushan Waterfall with incense burner peak, and depicts the magnificent scenery of Lushan Waterfall with highly exaggerated artistic techniques, which reflects the poet's infinite love for the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
