Meaning:

Under the sunlight, the incense burner peak produces purple haze. From a distance, the waterfall hangs in front of the mountain like white silk. The waterfall falling from the high cliff looks like a few thousands of feet, which makes people think that this is the Milky Way pouring down from the sky.
