Hiker finds secret WATERPIPE supplying China’s tallest waterfall – forcing officials to apologise for misleading tourists
daily mail | 6/6/24

Chinese officials have been forced to apologise after a hiker found a secret waterpipe supplying China’s tallest waterfall.

The video, posted to TikTok’s sister app Douyin on Sunday, showed a large water main embedded at the top of Yuntai Mountain Waterfall, touted as China’s tallest uninterrupted waterfall.

Millions of tourists visit the 1024ft-tall waterfall every year, drawn in by the ancient geological formations that date back more than a billion years.

Officials for Yuntai Mountain Geopark, a UNESCO-listed site, made a bizarre social media post, apologising for the additional pipe by speaking as the waterfall itself.

‘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 every time you come to see me,’ the post read.

‘I made a small enhancement during the dry season only so I would look my best to meet my friends.’

Let me guess . . . the hiker committed barmecide?
