Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to Huangguoshu waterf-alls, one of the national 5A Grade Scenic Spot in China.
Huangguoshu waterf-all is the largest of its kind in China as well as one of the most famous waterf-alls in the world. In November 1982, it's rated as one of China's major scenic spots by the State Council of People's Republic of China.
Located at 25°55' North latitude and 105°41' East longitude, the Grand Waterf-all are right on the Baishui river, a tributary of the Dabang river stretching through the border area of Zhenning Country adjacent to Guanling Country in western Guizhou. 137 kilometers away from Guiyang, the Huangguoshu Scenic Spot lies between the north latitude 25°53'45" —26°31'5" and the east longitude 105°35'50" —105°41'25" . It takes about one and a half hours' drive from Guiyang to Huangguoshu.
The Grand Waterf-all is 77.8 meters high with 67 meters high and 101 meters wide for its main part and 83.3 meters wide for the top of its main part. When the flood water is rising in summer and autumn, the waterf-all would reach it's biggest size and be heard ten miles away. Due to the power of the falling water, the mist can stretch hundreds of miles, enshrouding nearby villages and streets. The whole scene is called "Sliver rain sprinkling over the golden (sunlit) streets" by visitors. In dry seasons like winter and spring, the waterf-all can be divided into several streams falling down from the top, looking like a fairy lady in yarn dredancing in the wind. For hundreds of years, many scholars are overwhelmed by its powerful appearance. In 1638, Xu Xiake, a great geologist of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), described the waterf-all after visiting it: "Pearl flying, jade bumping, foam dancing, mist rising, what a mighty scenery. Among all the falls I have seen, maybe some are higher but no one is wider or larger than this..."
The famous calligrapher of Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty, Yan Yinliang, who had once wrote the name of "Summer Palace" in Beijing, inscribed a couplet for the waterf-all Viewing Pavilion, "White as cotton, the water splashes without being hit by bows; Red as ribbon, the rainbow around the waterf-all is generated naturally without being weaved in shuttles." (Note: The bows are one kind of instruments for fluffing cotton in ancient China.) These words showed one more vivid image of the magnificent scenery of Huangguoshu Waterf-all.
Now, we proceed to the place where the waterf-all flows into, the Xiniu (Rhinoceros) Pond. It is said there's a magic rhinoceros hiding underneath the pond, hence the name. Sun Kewang, a famous general more than 300 years ago, wrote about the magic rhinoceros in his article Inscription on Rebuilding Waterf-all Viewing Pavilion, "Since a magic rhinoceros hid in the pond, the weather has changed accordingly and some strange signs have appeared... In 1654, when we passed the pavilion, we stopped to have a look. Soon, the water was raised by several meters, causing misty cloud floating above, giving us a strong heart shock..."
No one has seen the magic rhinoceros yet, but one would be indulged in an imagination when he stands by the mysterious and deep pond. At 10AM or 4PM of sunny days, looking through the flying water mist, you can see a colorful rainbow due to refraction of sunlight, which will create a stunning sight.
How does the Huangguoshu waterf-all get is name? According to legend, there used to be one high orchard tree which is called "Huangguo" in the local dialect, hence the name. Another story about the name goes like that :long ago, the farmers nearby liked to plant Huangguo (orange) trees and there were a lot of Huangguo tree gardens in this region, so the Huangguoshu Waterf-all got its name ever since.
Compared with other well-known waterf-alls, Huangguoshu Waterf-all is not as large as the Victoria Waterf-alls in Africa, the Niagara Waterf-alls in America and the Angel Waterf-alls in Venezuela, however, it boasts unique glamour that it's the largest waterf-all in a Karst topography. Like a magnet, it is attached with a cluster of charming sceneries around. The most miraculous one is the Water Curtain Cave half way up the hill, which is hidden behind the waterf-all. Some vines climb outside the cave and the waterf-all looks just like a huge curtain hanging in front of the cave, which may be one scenery you can seldom see in other waterf-alls.
The total length of the cave is 134 meters, including 6 caverns, 6 halls, 3 fountains and 6 passageways. The main sceneries are as follows: Inversing Cactus, Suspending Roots of Ancient Banyan, Rattan Curtain, Miniature Garden, Blast Port, Crystal Palace, Waterf-all Touching Platform and Rockwall Passageways, etc. The TV series Pilgrimage to the West, which is adapted from one famous Chinese fairy tale and featuring one pilgrimage journey to the west of 2 monks, a pig and a Monkey King, has chosen this cave to shoot the scenes about Monkey King's Water curtain cave in Huaguo(Flowers and fruits) Hill. When you stand here, you can imagine the images of the smart Monkey King and his lovely descendents.
