A controversy over a waterfall has cascaded into a social media storm in China, even prompting an explanation from the water body itself.

A hiker posted a video that showed the flow of water from Yuntai Mountain Waterfall - billed as China’s tallest uninterrupted waterfall - was coming from a pipe built high into the rock face.

The clip has been liked more than 70,000 times since it was first posted on Monday. Operators of the Yuntai tourism park said that they made the “small enhancement” during the dry season so visitors would feel that their trip had been worthwhile.

“The one about how I went through all the hardship to the source of Yuntai Waterfall only to see a pipe,” the caption of the video posted by user “Farisvov” reads.

    I wonder if there’s a reason why I said “the vast majority” and “legitimately implemented”

    Nah I’m sure I only picked those words because they sound nice

        In this very thread, like six parent comments up, it was already established that China is not communist

            And I said you’re wrong, because it’s not. Let’s just agree that you’re wrong and stop wasting 1s and 0s
