Huangguoshu
Waterfall
Located
43 km southwest of Anshun of Guizhou Province, the Huangguoshu Waterfalls
are one of the largest waterfall groups in China. They have been
found out that the falls in this area consist of 18 falls on the
ground and 4 underground falls. Among them Huangguoshu Waterfalls,
which is the largest one in the groups and in Asia as well, is 68
meters high and 8l meters wide with a flow of more than 700 cubic
meters of water per second, huge amounts of water seem like pouring
from the sky. The total drop is 90 meters in height! Turbulent waters
throw into a pool at the bottom of a valley, sending foams up by
100 meters. And roars can be heard kilometers away. When the sun
rises rainbows appear, adding a touch of beauty to the majesty of
the cataract. In the middle part of the falls, a cave arches into
the cliffside and is fancifully curtained by a sheet of water. There
are other falls in the areas such as Luositan Waterfall and Yinlianzhui
Waterfall. In addition, there are more than 10 Caverns and Tianxinqiao
Stone Forest with stalactites and stalagmites of curious shapes
and sizes.
