Haipa Waterfall (Burmese: ဟိုက်ပါရေတံခွန်) is a waterfall located in the village of Haipa, in Mong Hsu Township, southern Shan State, Myanmar. The waterfall is characterized by a multi-tiered formation, typically featuring between seven and nine distinct levels. Beginning at Nam Pan Creek, the waterfall's cascades form pools at various levels. These pools exhibit a seasonal color variation: during the summer months, the water appears turquoise, while with the onset of the monsoon season, the color shifts to a golden yellow. The natural attraction attracts a substantial number of visitors, with hundreds attending on weekends and public holidays. During peak periods, including the summer holidays and the Thingyan (Burmese New Year) festival, visitor counts can extend into the thousands.
