Huangguoshu Waterfall, resembling a miniature Milky Way, is Asia’s largest waterfall. Standing 74 meters (243 feet) tall and 81 meters (266 feet) wide, it is a spectacular natural wonder in Anshun. If you’re in Guizhou Province, don’t miss it.
Huangguoshu Waterfall National Park is located 45 kilometers (28 miles) southwest of Anshun City, Guizhou Province. The main waterfall, along with its surrounding smaller cascades, creates a captivating natural wonder that serves as a signature tourist attraction. The warm hospitality of the local ethnic groups adds a rich cultural dimension to the experience.
This waterfall national park primarily consists of three key attractions: the waterfall cluster, Water Curtain Cave, and Rhino Pool.
1. Waterfall Cluster
The Huangguoshu Waterfall Cluster comprises about 18 waterfalls, with Huangguoshu Waterfall being the most renowned. Water flow varies seasonally. The reservoir behind the falls stores water. Located one kilometer upstream from Huangguoshu Falls, the Doupotang Falls spans 105 meters in width and 21 meters in height, making it the widest waterfall in the group. Other falls, such as Luoshitan Falls, Silver Chain Falls, and Dishuitan Falls, each possess their own unique characteristics.
2. Water Curtain Cave
Water Curtain Cave runs through Huangguoshu, offering visitors a vantage point to view the waterfall. The cave spans 134 meters (440 feet) in total, encompassing cave windows and chambers. A path leads to Water Curtain Cave from the mountainside, where visitors can hear, see, and feel the waterfall’s movement. On sunny days, a rainbow often appears above the cascade.
3. Rhino Pool
Rhino Pool, 11 meters deep and shaped like a rhinoceros, remains submerged year-round. Standing at the Water-Viewing Pavilion beside it, one can admire the Huangguoshu Waterfall cascading down like strings of pearls and silver chains, creating a majestic spectacle with a unique charm!
4. Experience the waterfall from different vantage points. We recommend the following: First, the Waterfall Viewing Pavilion offers a panoramic view of the entire cascade. Next, the Waterfall Observation Pavilion reveals the majestic spectacle of the relentless flow. Third, the pavilion by Rhino Pool provides another perspective. The nighttime view of the main waterfall is breathtakingly beautiful and unforgettable—don’t miss it.
The region boasts a mild climate with an average temperature of 16°C, making it an ideal summer retreat. The nearby Huangguoshu Falls Hotel is a three-star establishment.
Recommendation: Bring an umbrella when visiting the falls. Without one, you may get wet.
