The Grand Huangguoshu Falls is the most imposing one among the waterfall cluster and is one of the most extensive and spectacular falls in the world. It is the only one on the earth available for viewing from upper, lower, front, rear, left and right positions. In addition, it is the only one provided with naturally perforated waterfall caves, from the inside or outside of which you can hear, view and touch the falls. The great traveler Xu Xiake of Ming Dynasty wrote a poem to praise it, “Like pearl and jade, the spray sprinkles out. Like smoke and fog rising from the bottom. Like bead curtain without rolling. Like white cloth hangs far on the side of the steep mountain. All these analogies cannot used to describe its grandeur, broadness and highness.”
