A new waterfall cascading down the side of a skyscraper in China’s Guiyang City falls an amazing 108 meters (or 354 feet). This is nearly the same height as Zambia’s famous Victoria Falls (354 feet) and higher than Lower Yosemite Falls (320 feet) and Yosemite’s Vernal Fall (318 feet).
Costing about 800 yuan ($118) per day to pump the water to the top, this fake waterfall will only be turned on for special occasions. In addition, Cheng, the property manager, says that the fall will only be turned on briefly, for about 20 minutes at a time, and that it uses recycled tap water, rainwater, or “water from other sources,” whatever that means.
Lower Section and Collection Area
The Guiyang City skyscraper’s waterfall, like all waterfalls fake or real, has a collection area at the bottom in order to recirculate the water back to the top. “Collection” is a loose term here, as water begins to fan out and mist toward the bottom.
