Huangguoshu Falls (literally, Yellow Fruit Trees Falls)

Huangguoshu Falls (literally, Yellow Fruit Trees Falls) Review

The Baishui River streams over nine sets of rocks, creating nine waterfalls over a course of 2 km (1 mi). At the highest point, Huangguoshu Falls drops an eye-popping 230 feet. The largest in China, these falls are set in lush countryside where you'll find numerous villages. You can enjoy them from afar or by wading across the Rhinoceros Pool (Xiniu Jian) to the Water Curtain Cave (Shuilian Dong) hidden behind the main falls. Seven kilometers (4½ mi) downstream is the Star Bridge Falls (Xingqiao Pu). The falls are at their best from May through October. To avoid switching buses en route at the city of Anshu, book a seat on a tour bus. Any of the travel agents at local hotels or around the bus and train stations can help you with arrangements.
