The morphological characteristics of Huangguoshu Waterfall:

Huangguoshu Waterfall is located on the Baishui section of the Tapang River Basin. The river flows from north to south and reaches Huangguoshu. At that time, a large longitudinal slope crack appeared in the river bed, forming Huangguoshu Waterfall.

After passing through the waterfall, the water circles around an approximately semicircular arc to the west, with a chord length of 500 meters and a protrusion of 300 meters to the west. It reaches the screw beach head below the water scraper and resumes the flow direction from north to south. The waterfall is 101 meters wide and 77.8 meters high.

The waterfall cascades into Rhinoceros Pond, and the water flows through Sandaotan, Horseshoe Beach, Zhulongtan, Youyujing, Guoditang, Wantang, and Maoshui Pond.

Behind the waterfall, there is a 134-meter-long water curtain cave that cuts across the middle of the waterfall. It is composed of 6 cave windows, 5 cave halls, 3 cave springs and 6 passages.

Watching the waterfall from the Shuilian Cave is thrilling. The water curtain cave under such a spectacular waterfall is rare among waterfalls around the world.
