TheYuntai Mountain (simplified Chinese:云台山;traditional Chinese:雲台山;pinyin:Yúntāi shān) is situated inXiuwu County,Jiaozuo,Henan Province ofPeople's Republic of China. The Yuntai Geo Park scenic area is classified as aAAAAA scenic area by theChina National Tourism Administration.[1]
On 5 October 2015, a recently opened glass walkway to the mountain cracked two weeks after opening causing the closure of the walkway.[2][3][4]
Situated within Yuntai Geo park, with a fall of 314 metres (1,030 ft), Yuntaiwaterfall has been claimed to be the tallest uninterrupted waterfall in China.[5][6] However, in June 2024 a large metal pipe was discovered built high into the rock face.[7] Officials stated that the pipe was to ensure tourists see a flow of water even during the dry season.[7][8]
