Yuntai: Hiker finds pipe feeding China's tallest waterfall
Yuntai: Hiker finds pipe feeding China's tallest waterfall
A hiker posted a video showing the water flow of the fall was coming from a pipe built into the rock face.
A controversy over a waterfall has cascaded into a social media storm in China, even prompting an explanation from the water body itself.
A hiker posted a video that showed the flow of water from Yuntai Mountain Waterfall - billed as China's tallest uninterrupted waterfall - was coming from a pipe built high into the rock face.
The clip has been liked more than 70,000 times since it was first posted on Monday. Operators of the Yuntai tourism park said that they made the "small enhancement" during the dry season so visitors would feel that their trip had been worthwhile.
"The one about how I went through all the hardship to the source of Yuntai Waterfall only to see a pipe," the caption of the video posted by user "Farisvov" reads.

Not surprising, everything is fake in China. Have even seen China using green paint on plants and mountains...

ehmmm, every city in every country I have heard of does something like this when an international event will take place.
Not saying the Chinese may not over do it... but this is common practice in the Western World as well
Did you actually watch the videos?
They were spraying the trees green because they were dead. Elsewhere they might power wash ground, and maybe replace broken windows in abandoned buildings so they look new, possibly do some weeding, but they're not painting trees because the trees are not dead. If the trees are dead you've got a serious issue.
Brazil painted over their slum neighborhoods... Venezuela used to hang flower pots on every lamp post... Canada labeled a bunch of buildings as "green sustainable energy"... etc
Again, I am not saying China is no overdoing it... but the pearl clutching tone of the video seemed silly to me
Yep we all paint our dogs to look like pandas over here
