Colorful Guizhou · Happy 'Qian' Journey: Doupotang Waterfall

After several days of sunny weather, Doupotang is at normal water level. The flow of the Baishui River is not large, and the water is clear, making the Doupotang Waterfall appear very delicate and charming. The water layer of the waterfall spreads evenly along the gentle waterfall surface, dancing lightly on the scaly travertine terraces, like a thin, semi-transparent veil, or like open plain silk fans, shimmering silver in the sunlight. Therefore, some people jokingly call it the 'Bride's Veil.' Below the Doupotang Waterfall, there is a wide and flat beach surface, dotted with dozens of small green pools of varying sizes. The shallow pools are only a few tens of centimeters deep, while the deeper ones can reach several meters, making it very distinctive. (Photo by Wang Tao)

The steep slope pond area is really very general. So our photos are very few. A lot of people said that the place where I took pictures was the place where the old version of the Journey to the West. But I remember when I went to Jiuzhaigou, there was a Nuorilang Waterfall. At that time, I said that it was the place to take a Journey to the West. The result is also said here, it is really different. In the end, where is the shooting, I am afraid that only the people of the crew of the year can know. But I feel that Norirang is more like a point.

Huangguoshu Waterfall contains three scenic spots, namely, steep slope pond waterfall, Tianxingqiao scenic spot and Huangguoshu Waterfall. The first stop came to the steep slope waterfall, which is the widest waterfall in the Huangguoshu Waterfalls. On the top of the steep slope pond is a huge melting pool with an area of 15,000 square meters. The waterfall is formed on a calcified beach dam with a length of more than 100 meters. I saw the dense, white-flowered, waterfall that fell down hard, and my heart was turbulent. is the first time I saw such a big waterfall. I want to think of it, even if I am told by my family that I love to run crazy, I want to travel. It is just that every one of my eyes makes me happy, my heart is shaking, and the living is touched by the soul. Here, I dont say anything, I dont do anything, just stand still and watch the water, listen to the roar of this life, and feel happy.
