Grand Waterfall in Baishui Village

Updated Beijing Time



Located in Zengcheng city, only one an a half hour by car from downtown Guangzhou, Baishui (White Water) Village is a good choice of resort.

The Biggest Waterfall (Drop in Elevation) in Mainland China

The Baishui waterfall resort covers about 170 square kilometers and the drop in elevation reaches 428.5 meters. It is called the biggest waterfall drop in mainland China. It's an unforgettable experience to stand in the rising mist beside the waterfall surrounded by the splashing water and deafening sound.

  



The No.1 Step in South China

The steps extend 6.6 kilometers, cross 3 mountains and connect with 2 natural lakes. Because of the 9999 steps, it is called 'the No.1 Step in South China'. When you take steps 8999 to 9999, you can enjoy a good view of a lake on the mountain.

Experts found a diagram of the Supreme Ultimate on a rock under the waterfall. According to the Chinese legend, female celestial spirit Ms He Xiangu transformed into Baishui waterfall. The appearance of the Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate reflects the mysteries of Taoism.
