Huangguoshu Waterfall, named after the tree bearing the “yellow fruit” in the mythical story of Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou since ancient times, is located in Zhenning Buyi Miao Autonomous County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province, China. It is one of the world's most famous waterfalls, being known for its great water power. The height of the waterfall is 77.8 meters, and the waterfall is 101 meters wide.

黄果树瀑布得名于贵州民间自古以来流传的黄果树瀑布的神话故事中结“黄果”的树。位于中国贵州省安顺市镇宁布依族苗族自治县,是世界著名大瀑布之一。以水势浩大著称。瀑布高度为77.8米,宽101米。



Huangguoshu Waterfall became famous first in the Ming Dynasty, after that, generations of celebrities’ travel and promotion formed the basis of the reputation of the waterfall. Xu Xiake, the geographer, traveler, essayist in Ming Dynasty, inspected and recorded the Huangguoshu Waterfal in the way to enter Yunnan. Subsequently, generations of literati and writers wrote poems in praise of Huangguoshu Waterfall.

黄果树瀑布出名始于明代旅行家徐霞客,历代名人的游历、传播奠定了黄果树瀑布名声的基础。明代地理学家、旅行家、散文家徐霞客经黄果树瀑布入滇,对黄果树瀑布进行了考察和记录。其后历代文人墨客作诗撰文赞颂黄果树瀑布。



With reference to the Huangguoshu Waterfall, I'm sure many of you who have seen Journey to the West will aspire to find those scenes from it and reminisce about the classics here. If so, the Waterfall Cave and Doupotang Waterfall are the right places for you to visit.

说起黄果树瀑布,相信很多看过《西游记》的小伙伴都想在这里寻觅那些《西游记》中似曾相识的场景,回味经典。而水帘洞、陡坡塘等景区就是你的不二选择。



The Waterfall Cave is located between 40 and 47 meters from the Huangguoshu Waterfall and is 143 meters long. The Huangguoshu Waterfall is spectacular enough from a distance, but it is only by walking through it that you may appreciate the majesty and beauty of the Huangguoshu Waterfall.

水帘洞在黄果树瀑布4047米的位置,全长143米。远观大瀑布已经足够壮观,但在大瀑布里穿行才更能领略到黄果树瀑布的雄奇和壮美。



Apart from the Waterfall Cave, you can't miss the Doupotang Waterfall, which is located 1km upstream of the Huangguoshu Waterfall and is about 105 meters wide, making it the widest waterfall in the Huangguoshu Waterfall group. It is amazing that when the rainy season arrives, the waterfall will lose its gentleness and roar like a wild horse.

除了水帘洞,也不能错过陡坡塘瀑布,它位于黄果树瀑布上游1公里处,宽约105米,是黄果树瀑布群中最宽的瀑布。陡坡塘瀑布最神奇的地方在于每当雨季来临,汹涌的河流呼啸而来,陡坡塘瀑布便失去了往日的温柔,汹涌咆哮如奔腾的野马,雄壮威武。


The summer visit around Guizhou Province has come to an end. Back to life after the journey, and discover the fun of the daily life.

在贵州省的夏日之旅到此就告一段落了。结束旅途,回归日常,乐亦无穷。
