Rainbow Over Huangguoshu Fall

Lying in Anshun county of Guizhou Province, it's formed by 18 waterfalls of various sizes. The Huangguoshu Falls is the largest, measuring 74 meters tall and 81 meters wide. The waters flowing at a capacity of 737 cubic meters per second, come from an area of 770 square kilometers. The thunderous roars of the waterfall can be heard within a distance of 5 kilometers. During the flood season (July, August), the torrential waters cascade down some thousand feet from the cliff tops to the Pool of Xiniu encircled on three sides by the mountains, dashing against rocks with deafening noises and throwing up turbulent waves which rise and tumble like thousands of galloping horses. The misty water sprays shot up some hundred meters, sparkling under the sunlight like myriad rainbows. In the dry season, the Waterfall hangs over the precipitous cliffs, swinging like countless silvery chains and plunging into the magic lake as though they were silvery dragons. The most fascinating is the 12 meters high water-screen cave gifted with 6 cave windows, 5 yards, 3 springs and an inner waterfall. One can stroll about the cave, watching through the windows the outside waterfall.
