Shock in China: The Famous Waterfall is Powered by a Water Pipe

One of the familiar images from Israelis' travels abroad is the sight of the massive waterfalls in countries like South America and China. A prominent attraction for tourists worldwide is the Chinese Yuntai Waterfall, towering several hundred meters tall, producing a breathtaking spectacle. However, it has now been revealed that the waterfall is powered by a water pipe and is not natural.

Park inspectors, where the waterfall is located, stated they had introduced an 'improvement' to the famous waterfall. Why is this surfacing now? Because a viral video posted by a traveler revealed that the stunning 314-meter-high waterfall is fed by water via a pipe installed by the Chinese.

"This is the story of how I made such an effort to reach the top of Yuntai Falls only to see a pipe," wrote the user, whose video has since garnered tens of millions of views on social media. Following the video's release, government officials were dispatched to the park and discovered the truth: the celebrated waterfall is composed of water flowing from a pipe and is not natural.

After the investigation, inspectors admitted that the pipe is used to ensure the waterfall looks its best for tourists. Subsequently, a statement was issued on behalf of the waterfall itself (a fictitious account created for it), saying, "This isn't how I expected to meet everyone. Because I can't guarantee I'll be at my peak every time you visit, I made a 'small improvement' during the dry season so I look my best when friends come to see me." CCTV reported that the water used is spring water, which does not harm the natural landscape.

Will this new information dissuade tourists from around the globe? Time will tell. Meanwhile, internet users have not remained indifferent, with many feeling deceived and starting to comment on social media. "People will be disappointed if they arrive at the waterfall only to find nothing," wrote one user. Another commenter expressed disbelief that China's number one waterfall is not real.

In the past, it was reported that another waterfall in China has been supplemented with water from a nearby dam for almost 18 years.
