Ka Ding Heavenly Buddha Waterfall

The Ka Ding Holy Mountain Heavenly Buddha Waterfall (卡定神山天佛瀑布) is located in Ka Ding Trough along the Niyang River(尼洋河), about 24 kilometers to Bayi Town(八一镇) in Nyingchi(林芝), southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. 

►Feature:
The waterfall is typical valley in terms of topography, which seems the mountains are very high and contrastingly the trough is so deep, the peaks of stone are oddly shaped and the ancient trees are quite towering. Water is fallen from above approximately 200 meters quickly, directly and powerfully.

 When the falling water amount is relatively small, it is like silvery lavalieres. The scenic area got its name because of a giant, solemn and kindly face of the Heavenly Kwan-yin (the Goddess of Mercy) Buddha, which was formed of rocks by the Mother Nature, is sometime vaguely seen amid the majestic waterfall scenery. The Heavenly Buddha Statue and two Great Guardians here, and the valley of dense forests form a stunning, legendary picture of the ancient Tibetan Buddhism. 

"Ka Ding" means "the heaven" or the sky in Tibetan. The Heavenly Buddha Waterfall presents the Buddhist face when the water is strong during spring and summer. Two guardians, one male and one female, stood left and right of the Buddha respectively. The female guardian is also known as Auspicious Heavenly Girl that is seen vividly elegance with graceful beauty.

►Legend:
The natural made Kwan-yin Statue is solemnly stood on a lotus flower podium and holding a magic bottle with sacred water. A legend goes that in the very distant past, plague was an epidemic and thousands of people had died. Therefore, the Kwan-yin descended to the world and She kindly splashed the sacred water onto the village. The water thus became the Heavenly Waterfall to which people drank it all the illnesses would be cured. Then the image of the Kwan-yin was left on the mountainside.

Although this is a legend, the lively image of the Buddha is having white, yellow and red colors, a great contrast to the dull, grey stone background of the mountain. It is much better impact compared with man-painted murals. 

►Transportation: 
There is no direct coach to the scenic area. You can hire a van in Nyingchi to the Heavenly Buddha Waterfall.
