China Alive 2008: Guizhou Hiking Trip (黄果树瀑布)


This is the continuation of the first part of my hiking trip at Guizhou I posted eons while ago (before I got lazy). Actually, I'm not going to go on about the trip anymore,I'll just write on this massive waterfall we went too. Not going to write about everything else we did in Guizhou anymore because, firstly, it was too long ago, I have already forgotten what we did and secondly, I'm just too god damn lazy to upload the 123456 photos.

Alright, where was I? Oh right, pockey..

Yeap we brought like a good stock of pockey on our trip. Including new yunmmy flavours like blueberry and banana. I liked the banana one alot. Yes, Jean likes her bananas. *lick lick*


Yellow Fruit Tree Waterfall
Anyway, it was a very long bus ride till we finally reached our destination...a bonsai garden.

WTF?!? We went all the way here to look at midget plants?! No seriously, I was soo pissed that all I saw after the tedious bus ride, was an unimpressive bonsai garden. Oh but I was wrong, we were actually at the Yellow Fruit Tree Waterfall (黄果树瀑布)which was the largest waterfall in China and Asia. It is 77.8 m (255 ft) high and 101 m (330 ft) wide; located at the Baihe River (白水河). This meant more hiking.. Oh gosh!

After hiking for about 45 minutes, we could hear the waterfall. We spotted a corner of it and had to take a picture! Dude, it looked so tiny. Psssh yeah we were still really far away. Ugh, more hiking..
Still long way to go till we get closer. Haha and more camwhoring on the way. Camwhoring while hiking is kinda bad idea, I actually stumbled and tripped on myself a few times. Yeah I'm a klutz. Shut up.

Hell yeah! Bring out da shades!

WTF am I doing?!

Ooh we're getting closer now. From that distance, I could already feel the cool mist spraying on my sweaty neck. Very rewarding from all that hiking.Finally we were up close with the almighty waterfall. Ooh what a sight! Yeah it doesn't look very large in the picture but it was actually massive! I think it's the biggest waterfall I've ever seen so far. (I have yet to see Niagara, maybe soon). Eww, I think I have to shed a few pounds :/
