Famous Chinese Waterfall This Attraction's All Wet!!! Vid Exposes Pipes Feeding Falls
Yuntai Waterfall, a major tourist attraction in China's Yuntai Mountain Park, might see a decline in visitors ... as a new video making the rounds suggests it's, at least partially, bogus!
The waterfall, which boasts an impressive rating from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and its actual water source, are suddenly under a microscope after drone footage on social media showed a pipe supplying water going over the 1,000-foot falls.
The source of Asia's highest #waterfall is a water pipe?😅 In Xiuwu County, Henan Province, the Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area boasts the "highest waterfall in Asia," the Yuntai Mountain Waterfall, with a staggering drop of 314 meters.

Bill Maher Hey College Kids ... How 'Bout Fighting for Gender Equality?!!
Bill Maher did a pivot Friday night ... actually complimenting the pro-Hamas college protesters for believing in something that was bigger than themselves ... but then he lowered the boom, saying they missed the cause they should be embracing by a f***ing mile!
The 'Real Time' host made his pitch to the youngins ... the biggest social justice cause in decades has been apartheid. Nelson Mandela is a beacon of light for equality and dignity.
And that brings Bill to students supporting Hamas ... which denigrates women in ways much worse than second-class citizens. Bill ticks off a laundry list of indignities, starting with the mandatory hijab, which is prevalent in dozens of countries ... where women can't see, hear or speak out in the open air. It suppresses women from humanity ... and makes their souls shrivel.
