Guizhou Great Waterfall Scenic Area ceased to operate.

Due to the exhaustion of the upper reaches of the river, the Great Waterfall Scenic Area, the core scenic spot of the national 5A Chishui Danxia Tourist Area, was closed on August 13.

On August 12, Guizhou Jinzun Scenic Area Management Co., Ltd. issued the "Announcement on the Closure of Chishui Danxia Tourist Area and Great Waterfall Scenic Area", saying that the upper reaches of Chishui Danxia Tourist Area and Great Waterfall Scenic Area dried up due to the continuous influence of extreme high temperature weather in Chishui. After urgent research by the company, it is decided that Chishui Danxia Tourist Area and Great Waterfall will stop operating on August 13, 2022, and the opening hours will be announced separately.

The staff of Guizhou Chishui Cultural Tourism Bureau said that the Great Waterfall is a natural attraction. Because of the weather, it didn't rain for a long time in Chishui area, which affected the water volume of the Great Falls. Considering the tourist experience, we decided to temporarily close the park.

The staff of Chishui Meteorological Bureau told the reporter that the local high temperature weather lasted for several days, the highest temperature exceeded 40℃, and there was no precipitation for about ten days, which led to the decrease of waterfall water. "The temperature is high, there is no rainfall, the evaporation is large, and the water volume is reduced. There is water in the waterfall, but it is much smaller. "

According to the data, Chishui Danxia Tourist Area is the first national 5A-level tourist attraction in Zunyi. Chishui Waterfall is comparable to Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is 76 meters high and 80 meters wide, 8 meters higher than Huangguoshu Waterfall and narrow 1 meter. It is one of the best waterfalls in China.
