Description:
Legend has it that at the waterfall of the upper Hiang-Kiang river in the Shios'ii Mountains in the province of Awa, a young girl, called O Ai San, prayed there hoping for the cure of her blind father. She stood naked under the waterfall, praying, for a hundred days, and when she returned home after that time she found her father cured. The waterfall now bears her name and it is visited by holy men and women and by those hoping for a miracle.
