Zhaduo Waterfalls

Zhaduo Waterfalls

Moli is also known as “Zhaduo”. According to the legend, Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism once fasted and bathed himself beside the hot spring and left a huge footprint. To memorize the personal presence of Sakyamuni, the later generations call the place “Zhaduo”, an Indo-Bali word meaning the footprints of Buddha. Moli Waterfalls are Zhaduo Waterfalls, hidden deep in the tropical rainforest between Guangnong Mountain and Guangma Mountain. The spring water pours from the steep cliff with the drop height of 60m to form the sight that “falls of water like common and water spreads automatically”. Moli Waterfalls are the waterfalls of the largest drop height in Dehong and even in Southwest Yunnan.
