Poem: "Wang Lushan Waterfall" Tang Dynasty·Li Bai

The sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke, and you can see the waterfall hanging in front of the river in the distance. The flying stream plummeted down three thousand feet, and it was suspected that the Milky Way had fallen into the sky.

Translation:

Purple haze rises from Xianglu Peak under the sunlight. From a distance, the waterfall looks like white silk hanging in front of the mountain.

The waterfall flying on the high cliff seems to be thousands of feet long. It makes people feel like the Milky Way is falling from the sky to the earth. Extended information
