The Yuntai Mountain (simplified Chinese: 云台山; traditional Chinese: 雲台山; pinyin: Yúntāi shān) is situated in Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo, Henan Province of People's Republic of China. The Yuntai Geo Park scenic area is classified as a AAAAA scenic area by the China National Tourism Administration.[1]
Situated within Yuntai Geo park, with a fall of 314 metres (1,030 ft), Yuntai waterfall is claimed as the tallest waterfall in China.[2][3]
On 5 October 2015, a recently opened glass walkway to the mountain cracked two weeks after opening causing the closure of the walkway.[4][5][6]
