Doupotang Waterfall, one kilometer up the river to Huangguoshu Waterfall, at 105 meters across is the widest. It is twenty-one meters high. Other waterfalls like LuosiTan Waterfall, Silver-Chain Waterfall and Dishuitan Waterfall all have their distinct features.
Rhinoceros Pool
Eleven meters deep, the pool is Rhinoceros shaped and stays submerged year round. Standing inside Water-Viewing Pavilion beside the Rhinoceros Pool to enjoy the flowing-down of the Huangguoshu Waterfall which is the largest with a flow of more than 700 cubic meters of water per second and huge amounts of water seem to be pouring from the sky. It is really wonderful that you look at the rushing waterfall through the 'windows' and touch the waterfall in the shortest distance.You may feel bunches of pearls and silver chains are falling upon you. What a grand and peculiarly attractive scene!
