Join a visit to Guiyang to see a bold architectural project: a 121-meter tall hotel with a 108-meter waterfall on its side, once the tallest man-made waterfall in the world. The engineering behind it used four 185 kW pumps and thousands of tons of recycled water from a four-story basement reservoir, blasting to the top for the cascading display. The spectacle came with a high electricity cost, and the performances have since ceased. After the waterfall exploration, the video shifts to a nearby park, highlighting Guiyang’s beauty and offering a contrast between the city’s hustle and tranquil green space. The itinerary blends engineering wonder with a peaceful park stroll, presenting a unique city experience in Guiyang.
In this vivid travelogue, CN Walking takes us to Guiyang, a city where ambition and engineering collide in a spectacular form. The centerpiece is a 121-meter tall hotel that features a dramatic 108-meter waterfall cascading down its side, once touted as the tallest man-made waterfall in the world. The footage dives into the staggering engineering behind the project, including four powerful 185 kW pumps and thousands of tons of recycled water drawn from a four-story basement reservoir to the top. The spectacle was breathtaking, but it came with a heavy energy price, consuming over 800 RMB (about 115 USD) in electricity for just one hour of operation. While many considered the waterfall more sensational than practical, the performances have since ceased, leaving behind a silent giant that still captures the imagination of visitors. The journey doesn’t end there. After exploring the waterfall skyscraper, the video guides us to a nearby park that stands out as perhaps Guiyang’s most scenic
