10 Most Beautiful Places in China

  

4. The Huangguoshu Waterfall, Guizhou Province

In China, there is a beautiful waterfall, Huangguoshu, that is worth a visit. It is located on the territory of Guizhou province, on the Baiji River. The waterfall flows surrounded by virgin forests that have come down to us since the Jurassic period.

The Huangguoshu waterfall is included in the Guinness Book of Records. At more than 250 feet, the Huangguoshu is the highest waterfall in Asia. Measuring more than 300 feet across, it’s a mammoth natural formation, too.

While Huangguoshu is spectacular to look at, it is remarkable in another way – unlike most waterfalls, it is accessible in practically every way. Visitors get to walk behind the waterfall and on each side. In addition, there is a cave behind the waterfall, where you can listen to its sound, enjoy its beautiful scenery, touch the stones and feel the incredible power of the falling water.

Huangguoshu is most beautiful during the summer rainy season. At this period, the river level rises significantly, and the water flies at high speed into the Behemoth Pond basin, creating a beautiful external picture of rumbling water and karst rock formations against rising water fog.
