Anshun in November, autumn lingers, the chill does not invade,
mountain mists swirl, Huangguoshu Waterfall loses the summer clamor and gains a quiet beauty.
This is the "Hometown of Waterfalls" in China, also a hidden small town deep in the Miao Mountains,
with the world's most magnificent waterfall group, billion-year-old karst caves, and pristine villages...
