You can feel the obvious heat with your hands. The water vapor will change into colorful colors in the air, and you can often see rainbows. 2. The origin of the name of David Falls The origin of its name is that in 1961, there was a young couple from Switzerland, a man named David, who took his beloved girlfriend on a hiking expedition, discovered this waterfall, and was immediately attracted. At that time, there was no path. After the two lingered on the ground for a while, they went down to the cave again. Due to the slippery ground, David's girlfriend accidentally fell into the fast-flowing river. When David saw this, he immediately jumped down to save it. As a result, both of them were swallowed by the waterfall... In order to commemorate David and his girlfriend who lost their lives here, the waterfall was called David's Falls. Of course, it also contains the meaning of warning. , warn everyone to be careful.
