| Huangguoshu Waterfall location |
The world's third largest waterfall cascades 60
metres and presents a luxurious spray of cool mist from various viewing vantage
points.
Our generous employers, at Guiyang No. 1 High School in
Jinyang City, Guizhou Province, paid the 90-yuan per person fee to get them and us through
the guarded entrance gate to the first viewing station, and another 30 for the
ride up the steep escalator after our tour.
The view at the bottom of the falls is breathtaking. The
water from the top of the mountain cascades with a tremendous force and fills
your ears with thunder. The large pool of water at the bottom continues to flow down a smaller series of drops until in disappears into the
deep forest.
Frank and I, along with several Chinese teachers and our
leader, Ms. Shelly, walked along the prepared path to a steep set of stairs
leading to the caves behind the flow. We ducked to avoid the low hanging
stalagmite and stepped carefully to avoid breaking what were left of the stalactites.
It was dark and a bit precarious for me but Frank was steady and encouraging.
We spent nearly two hours at the wondrous site. Guizhou province is a precious
location in China and a recommended destination for the explorative type.
We are still in touch with dear friends that we met in Guiyang City.
* our camera broke so I've borrowed some photos from the Internet.
