Huangguoshu Waterfall
The rushing water is like cotton, scattering into blossoms without the flick of a bow; the rosy glow is like brocade, woven naturally by heaven without a shuttle!
Introduction
As Asia's largest waterfall and a national 5A-level scenic area, Huangguoshu Waterfall has become Guizhou's most iconic natural wonder with its magnificent grandeur and unique landscape, enjoying the prestigious title of "China's No. 1 Waterfall."

The waterfall perfectly blends elegance, majesty, grandeur, and wonder. Its clear waters and distinct contours, along with the snow-white curtain and colorful rainbow, create an extraordinary natural masterpiece.
