Prepare to be amazed! The Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou Province recently reached a staggering flow rate of 381 cubic meters per second, the highest of 2024, according to the local hydrological and water resources bureau. This natural wonder, known for its impressive size and beauty, stands at 77.8 meters tall and 101 meters wide, formed by an erosion fissure in the karst plateau.

Continual rainfall upstream on the Baishui River has caused this breathtaking phenomenon. Throughout history, the Huangguoshu Waterfall has been celebrated in numerous Chinese literary works, poems, and paintings, highlighting its revered status in Chinese culture.
