Therefore, some people jokingly call it the "bride's veil". But when the flood season comes, the Baishui River becomes a soil yellow color due to carrying a large amount of sediment washed down by mountain floods, and the steep slope pond waterfall loses its former beauty of flat water and becomes exceptionally fierce and majestic.
