Formation Process
The formation of Huangguoshu Waterfall is mainly due to the long-term erosion of the Baishui River on the karst landform. The karst rocks in this area have different degrees of solubility. Under the action of water flow, some rocks are dissolved and washed away, gradually forming cliffs and waterfalls. Over time, through continuous water erosion and geological changes, the Huangguoshu Waterfall has taken on its current magnificent appearance.
