点评:Huangguoshu Waterfall besides being reputed to be Asia’s largest, became famous after the 1986’s TV adaption of Journey to the West being filmed here. It attracted more visitors. From the Tourist Center, the shuttle took us the the entrance of Huangguoshu Scenic Area.
Directory Signboards are placed to guide our walk through. Toilets are strategically provided. “Huangguoshu” literally mean Yellow Fruit Plants, are fruiting in the Park Area. There is a Bonsai Garden. Every bonsai plants has its name plate. You will get to meet the statue of Xu XiaKe (Explorer) standing tall with his biography inscribed on a stone tablet. Facilities for infirm are non-existent although there is an escalator that takes away some strain of climbing and descending to the Waterfall Area.
Behind the waterfall lies the Water-Curtain Cave (“Shuiliandong” in Chinese), a 440ft (134m) natural cave formation. Approximately 130ft (40m) from the base of the waterfall and 440ft (134m) long, the cave plateform offers a striking viewpoint of the waterfall.
It was crowded at the cave entrance, thus the waiting time to enter this cave can range from 15 minutes to much longer. Visitors can only walk in one direction. A poncho is 100 percent required to keep us dry, and as the Cave is narrow, dark with low ceiling, it is advisable not to bring an umbrella as it would hamper the flow of the others walking infront and behind . Beware of the risks of falls as there are uneven steps and the cement path is very slippery. The whole loop to walk through takes about 30 mins. Bring enough drinking water and snacks as there are no provisions inside the Cave.
After exploring the cave, return to the main path and continue downhill back to the escalator to exit.
A worthwhile visit in terms of the scenery and photography opportunities !!!
翻译:黄果树瀑布不仅号称亚洲最大瀑布,更因1986年电视剧《西游记》在此取景而声名鹊起,吸引了众多游客。我们从游客中心乘坐摆渡车前往黄果树景区入口。
景区内设有指示牌,引导游客游览。洗手间也分布合理。“黄果树”顾名思义,就是黄果树,如今园内正值盛产期。这里还有一个盆景园,每盆盆景都配有铭牌。您还会看到徐夏可的雕像,雕像高耸入云,旁边的石碑上镌刻着他的生平事迹。虽然景区内没有无障碍设施,但有自动扶梯可以减轻上下瀑布的负担。
瀑布后方是水帘洞,这是一个长达134米(440英尺)的天然洞穴。洞穴平台距离瀑布底部约 40 米(130 英尺),长 134 米(440 英尺),是欣赏瀑布壮丽景色的绝佳地点。
洞口人潮拥挤,因此进入洞穴的等待时间可能从 15 分钟到更长时间不等。游客只能单向通行。务必穿着雨披以保持干爽。由于洞穴狭窄、昏暗且顶部较低,建议不要携带雨伞,以免妨碍前后游客的通行。请注意安全,避免跌倒,因为台阶不平整,水泥路面非常湿滑。全程步行大约需要 30 分钟。请携带充足的饮用水和零食,因为洞穴内没有补给。
参观完洞穴后,返回主路,继续下坡前往自动扶梯出口。
这里风景优美,是拍照的绝佳地点,非常值得一游!
