The Kuang Si park starts out at the very bottom of the falls, where you must pay the $1 entry fee. A winding trail then takes you past a small enclosure displaying Asian black bears rescued from poachers. This trail continues on through the woods past several turquoise-blue pools of water and small 10-15 foot high cascades, before you reach the top where you'll find a 180 foot high waterfall.

There are changing rooms and picnic benches at several of the pools, and there is a deck area with more benches at the top waterfall. The whole area is shaded and cool, although the water is a bit cold. Kuang Si is a great destination for a hot afternoon, but be sure to bring a towel with you.

You'll find other visitors getting their thrills by jumping off of the shorter cascades, or off a tree whose branches extend out over the water. The ground is a little slippery with mud, so watch your step.

To the right of the 180 foot waterfalls is a steep trail that leads up to the top of the waterfalls. This trail is extremely slippery, and you'll need proper shoes to climb to the top. At the top you'll be able to cross over the waterfalls and look down to the pool of water below.
