Located 43 km southwest of Anshun, Huangguoshu Waterfalls is a magnificent scenic spot in Guizhou. When Baishui River reaches Huangguoshu, there is a drop of 74 meters into the Rhinoceros Pool. When water falls into the pool, it produces thunderous sound, which can be heard at a distance, and the mist from the falls carries to the local villages during the rainy season, which lasts from May to October. It has been found out that the falls in Huangguoshu consist of 18 falls on the ground and 4 underground falls.

Dragon Palace Cave
....................................................................................................................................................................................

The main spot, Dragon's Palace, is a splendid underground Karst cave. It looks like the crystal palace (which is a place where the king of dragons lives, who is called Long Wang) in fairy tales and so got the name Dragon's Palace (Long Gong). Sitting in a boat to go in the Palace and with lights on up on rock-walls, you could enjoy all kind of sceneries made of stalactites. It is so quiet all around except the sound made by oars that all you could think is the mysterious power of the nature. There are five caves altogether in Dagon's Palace but so far only one can be visited, which is shorter than half a mile.

15 km from Dragon Cave and 5 km from Huangguoshu Waterfall, home to about 200 households, the village sits along the river Báishui Hé and is surrounded by pretty green paddies. All the walls, bridges, roads, and houses are made of stone. Everyone in the village seems to have a batik workshop in their house.
