Baishuitai, conjointly referred to as the froth Terraces, is found within the foothills of the Haba Snow Mountains, a hundred and one kilometers (about sixty two miles) southeast of the Shangri-la County. Snugly carven into a mountain slope some 2400 meters higher than water level, Baishuitai, from its base to its prime, measures one hundred forty meters and spans some one hundred sixty meters in breadth at its widest place, creating Baishuitai the largest sedimentary rock terraces in China.
Water from the upper reaches of Haba Snow Mountain seeps down into the top terraced basin then spills over to the basin below, that it fills up before spilling over to following basin, so on so forth, till the water spills over the outer rim of the last of this set of terraced basins. The basins themselves are hollow out over time by the erosive action of the acidic water, that in earlier times, histrion out sure minerals from the sedimentary rock, making weak acid.
