Introducing Huangguoshu Falls
When these falls get going during the May to October rainy season, you can hear the thundering from kilometres away. Rainbows sprout from the Rhinoceros Pool below, while mist from the cascading waters carries all the way up to Huangguoshu Village nearby.

All this nabs busloads of tourists from all over China, eager to see the 81m-wide and 74m-tall Huangguoshu Falls (Huángguǒshù Dà Pùbù; Yellow Fruit Tree Falls; admission Y90; 8.30am-5.30pm), making it Guìzhōu’s No 1 tourist attraction.
The cascades are actually part of a 450-sq-km cave and karst complex discovered when Chinese explored the area in the 1980s to gauge the region’s hydroelectrical potential.
Entrance to the falls is just before Huangguoshu Village.
