NEW: Chinese officials are forced to apologize after a hiker discovers a secret water pipe feeding China’s tallest waterfall
Millions of tourists visit the 1,024-foot-tall Yuntai Mountain Waterfall annually, attracted by its ancient geological formations over a billion years old
‘I didn't expect to meet everyone this way. As a seasonal scenery I can't guarantee that I will be in my most beautiful form everytime you come to see me,’ - social media post from officials for Yuntai Mountain Geopark
‘I made a small enhancement during the dry season only so I would look my best to meet my friends.’
Chinese social media users were still infuriated by the decision
‘It's not respecting the natural order, and not respecting the tourists’ one user said
‘How could it be called the No.1 waterfall anymore’ another user said
My question is did they really need to apologize? I mean so what if the waterfall is "fake." Who is to say what a "real" waterfall is anyways? Apparently they also "enhance" some of their national parks with "fake" concrete. I think it's kinda cool but maybe they should be more transparent about it.
