The beauty of Wansheng lies in its winding Black Valley，stacked distant mountains，shrouded mist，continuous valleys and ink wonderland.
Water is the soul of Black Valley. The silky and soft Mengsha Waterfall，the rushing Dragon Waterfall，the magnificent Flying Fish Waterfall，countless hanging springs，flying streams，cliffs and mist form a fresh and distant ink painting.
Mengsha Waterfall is the most elegant and beautiful waterfall among the 72 waterfalls in Black Valley. It flows down the cliff slowly and looks graceful across the river，just like a white gauze dancing in the wind. It is like a dream，so it is called Mengsha Waterfall.
Dragon Waterfall usually has a small amount of water，just like flying flowers and splashing jade. In spring and summer，especially after heavy rains，the waterfall is very spectacular. It is seven or eight meters wide，hanging in the mountains. The water flows straight down 3 000 chi . The sound of water resounds through the whole valley like a roaring dragon with extraordinary power，so it is called Dragon waterfall.
Flying Fish Waterfall is one of the most surprising waterfalls in Black Valley Scenic Spot. The drop is about 80 meters. In the rainy season of summer，the waterflow can reach 5 tons per second. Because of the fish shape，it is named Flying Fish Waterfall.
