What is the name of the broad waterfall in China’s Guizhou province that is about 77.8 metres high and 101 metres wide?

The story behind the answer

Huangguoshu Waterfall is the broad waterfall in China’s Guizhou province that is about 77.8 metres high and 101 metres wide.

The falls are on the Baishui River, a tributary of the Pearl River system, in southwestern China. Huangguoshu is a major karst-landscape waterfall: the river crosses resistant limestone and plunges over a broad cliff, while erosion continues to shape the gorge and surrounding caves.

The name is also written Huangguoshu Falls. Its height and width are commonly quoted as approximately 77.8 and 101 metres, though measurements can vary with the exact point used and the water level.

Visitors can view the waterfall from several platforms and from Water-Curtain Cave, a natural opening behind the falling water. The scenic area contains several related cascades and karst features, so the main waterfall should not be confused with every nearby fall.
