The rushing river water pours down from the cliff 78 meters high and directly flows into the Rhinoceros Pool, creating a deafening roar that sounds like thousands of drums beating and galloping horses, like thunder, can be heard several miles away, making visitors feel both amazed and thrilled. The Huangguoshu Waterfall is famous for its magnificence and grandeur, but compared to other world-famous waterfalls, it also has its unique and peculiar features. The most amazing feature is the naturally formed "Water Curtain Cave" hidden halfway up the waterfall, which runs through the entire waterfall, allowing visitors to have intimate contact with the waterfall.
