The Huangguoshu Waterfall, one of China’s most magnificent natural wonders, has reached a staggering flow rate of 381 cubic meters per second, marking the highest in 2024, according to the local hydrological and water resources bureau in Guizhou Province.
This awe-inspiring waterfall, renowned for its immense size and breathtaking beauty, stands at 77.8 meters tall and spans 101 meters wide. Formed by an erosion fissure in the karst plateau, it is a testament to the majestic power of nature.
The recent surge in flow rate is attributed to continuous rainfall upstream on the Baishui River. The increased water volume has amplified the waterfall’s already impressive spectacle, drawing visitors from around the world to witness its grandeur.
Throughout history, the Huangguoshu Waterfall has been celebrated in numerous Chinese literary works, poems, and paintings, underscoring its revered status in Chinese culture. Its mesmerizing cascades continue to inspire awe and admiration, bridging the past and present through natural beauty.
