Another bright and memorable attraction is the Chanbayshan waterfall. Water flow falls down from a height of 70 meters and is heard for many kilometers. During a trip to the Chanbayshan waterfall, hydrogen sulfide springs often come across along the tourist trail, the water from which is widely used in local medicine.
