Doupotang Waterfall (陡坡塘瀑布 [Dǒupōtáng Pùbù])

The Doupotang Waterfall (陡坡塘瀑布 [Dǒupōtáng Pùbù]; Steep Slope Pond Waterfall?) is the most notable of the waterfalls in the area not named the Huangguoshu Waterfall. We actually noticed this waterfall on one of the tourist maps while at the Yellow Fruit Tree Falls, and when we brought this up to our guide and driver, it turned out that they were willing to accommodate our request since it was on the way back to Guiyang plus it was still part of the same park we were in. There were other waterfalls in the area, but a visit to them wasn't going to happen for us since they were a little more away from our planned itinerary plus they costed more than what was already paid for.

This particular falls wasn't tall, but it was very wide. Aside from some of the manmade objects left in front of the falls and power lines both above and behind the falls, it was actually a very quiet and relaxing place to enjoy a waterfall. This contrasted mightily with the Huangguoshu experience.

The short walk from the entrance to the falls featured peacocks near the entrance as well as ducks in the river just downstream from the falls. In all, we probably spent around a half-hour to 45 minutes to do both the walk and take all the photographs we wanted.

Directions: It was only about 10-15 minutes of driving from the Huangguoshu Waterfall to the entrance to the Doupotang Waterfall. I recalled we also noticed another waterfall when we drove over a road bridge in the distance, but we never had a chance to get a better look of it.
