Li Bai's Poems on Lushan Waterfall

Wanglushan Waterfall

Author: Li Bai

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.

Translation:

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 feet of low water were pouring down, could it be that the Milky Way fell from the cliff for nine days?
