White shuizhai Falls - the largest waterfall drop in mainland China
A few years ago, in a spring rains of Sunday, I went to the city to send Qiantan Town Beach shooting high wind if I say to you, the largest waterfall drop in mainland China in Guangzhou, not far from the Zengcheng, do you believe it? However, this is true.
King. High Beach this place because there are hot springs and is quite well known.
Northwest of the beach there is a high mountains called the white shuizhai Hill. Afar the mountain, I am stunned. God! Surprisingly, such a spectacular sight. I saw white clouds shrouded the mountain, a waterfall, such as the long white curtains hung on the mountainside in the float. I quickly found a suitable location, put up cameras, aiming this rare to see a magnificent view.
Telephoto look in the mirror from the past, I saw more clearly the true face of this huge waterfall. Near the peaks of the yellow point is that Mu yunting, a surge of water from the Mu-Fei Xie Yunting side down. If the start of a flying volley Yulong, in the middle of a large section, such as giant silk curtains go into the final section of the forest, such as Sclerotium falling. Watched the three paragraphs are together at one go. Waterfalls in front of such a huge, I naturally think of the great Tang poet Li Bai, "望庐山瀑布" in the eternal famous "Fei Liu Mashimo 3000 feet down suspected Galaxy nine days." However, I think that verse is not enough to describe a sight, only a sigh, too spectacle. I quickly pressed the shutter, shot several pictures.
Came back, because I think that shooting is not an ideal result, they put a photo shelved. After several white shuizhai Golden Hill, is also not see waterfalls disappeared.
Fast forward a few years in the past. City Photographic Society has collected photographs, should be a photo album. I find the giant waterfall pictures taken that day. Looked at the photo of this dragon-like waterfalls, I suddenly punched a question mark in my mind, this falls Just how long? This waterfall waterfalls and national known how it compares? So I have access to the travel books and the Internet to collect information and data. The results of this investigation even I myself could not believe it was actually white shuizhai waterfall drop in mainland China's largest waterfall, I was shocked.
Really, could not believe to believe that the data can best speak for themselves. World's largest waterfall basically divided into two categories, one is the most wide, one is the largest gap.
The Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou Province, is China's largest waterfall, it's largest, that it is the widest waterfall, 81 meters wide and drops 74 meters. This is a well-known to a wide waterfall.
In order to drop large well-known waterfalls are known as "Lushan first landscape" of the Lushan San Diequan waterfall. This falls a total drop of 155 meters. In addition to Taiwan Province of China (Taiwan island of Jiao Lung Waterfall drop up to 1,000 meters, sub-19 levels drop), the largest waterfall drop in mainland China Zhejiang Yandangshan big Yongchu Falls drops 197 meters, known as "the best in the world waterfall" .
Look at white shuizhai Falls, I am eyeballing the gap between the original at least 220 meters at its widest point about 50 meters. Later that year took part in the construction of a hydropower project shuizhai white colleagues have told me that this year they had measured a waterfall, there are 300 meters drop foot. "Best in the world waterfall" reputation should go to the White shuizhai waterfall.
Zengcheng people are really blessed. Zengcheng not only priceless fruit Acura - Gualv litchi, there are Chinese in the world all know He Xiangu, but also will be known in mainland China, the world's largest waterfall drop - white shuizhai Falls. This is the Zengcheng's "three treasures": Gualv, Hsien Ku, Great Falls.
According to the last century, the early 90s Compilation of "Zengcheng County," it reads: "White shuizhai, formerly known as seven heap mountains, 45 km away from the county seat, in the Great Eagle's Nest and South Peak with Lake water into a waterfall during the rainy season is very spectacular , hence the name white-water village. "In fact, since ancient times white shuizhai waterfall can be seen year round. White shuizhai waterfall water comes from Nankunshan vein, rainwater harvesting large area. Wide dense forests, mountains and rain water collection, for the formation of white shuizhai waterfall provides ample sources of water. The formation of sub-Falls wet and dry seasons, the wet period the water falls like a huge white cloth wrapped for a long time, the dry season the water came from a waterfall, such as silk, such as beads float in the air, four seasons have different views. The early 80s of last century built a hydropower station, landscapes from the iron pipe flow down, into electricity Zengcheng the benefit of the people, from waterfalls to a rare spectacle.
Fast forward 20 years later, Chinese society has undergone tremendous changes, Zengcheng from a traditional agricultural county into a rising star of the Pearl River Delta. When we learned that he was to hold a drop in China's largest waterfall, we should re-evaluate this huge waterfall, the value of ecological resources to find ways to produce the best benefits. In general, there are top landscape view, you can create a state-level scenic spots. If the white shuizhai waterfalls and scenic spots built into the same state-level scenic Huangguoshu Falls Scenic Area, Zengcheng will become a nationally renowned tourist city.
