Huangguoshu

Huangguoshu, meaning Yellow Fruit Tree, is one of China's most famous waterfalls. It is located in southwestern China, on the Baishui River within Huangguoshu National Park near Anshun, Guizhou Province. The waterfall is the centerpiece of the park and is often described as a curtain-like cascade. The main drop stands at about 77.8 meters high and roughly 101 meters wide, making it one of East Asia's largest waterfalls by combined height and width. A notable feature is the Water Curtain Cave, a cavern behind the falls that visitors can reach via a tunnel and stairways to view the cascade from behind the curtain.

The park protects a suite of karst landscapes, caves, and additional waterfalls, providing a diverse set of natural attractions and a habitat for plants and animals typical of Guizhou's subtropical karst region. The site has long been part of local cultural landscapes, with nearby communities including ethnic groups such as the Miao and Dong whose traditions are linked to the region's natural features. Huangguoshu has become a major tourist destination in Guizhou and is equipped with viewing platforms, cable car access, and visitor facilities to interpret the waterfall and surrounding geology.

Conservation and development aim to balance public access with ecosystem protection, ensuring the waterfall and park remain a prominent example of China's natural heritage.
