There is no doubt that waterfalls are absolutely natural wonders on the planet, and seeing them up close can be a spectacular experience, especially this one in China that was entirely man-made. The largest artificial waterfall "Niulanjiang Waterfall" has been opened to the public in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China, and it is also known as the largest artificial water in Asia.
China has added new landmarks to the must-see list for travelers. In Kunming, Yunnan Province, China, an amazing man-made waterfall has been discovered that is 1,300 feet long. It is capable of diverting approximately 10 million cubic feet of water from the local Niulan River to Dianchi Lake. Although the waterfall is pleasing to the eye, it was designed to provide water in an emergency. The construction of the waterfall is an important step in preparing for possible future water shortages. Nevertheless, it has become a new tourist attraction in Southwest China.
This stunning waterfall is 12.5 meters high and 400 meters wide, and is part of a project designed to divert water from the Niulan River to Dianchi Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan. In addition, the diversion will not only support the flooding of the Niulan River, but it will also help provide water for emergencies. The project, which is beneficial to the social environment, took nearly two years to complete and cost 1.1 billion yuan.
It creates a new unique water landscape in Kunming. In addition, it is reported that 60% of China's groundwater is polluted, and water quality has always been a major problem in China. Therefore, the shortage of water resources and the deterioration of the water environment are not only constraints on the economic development of the basin, but also have adverse effects on human health. A beautiful park has also been built around the waterfall, which is free for the public to visit.

The diversion not only helps reduce flooding in the Niulan River, but also serves as a water supply for emergencies. It's brilliantly created, truly a spectacle of waterfalls and flowing waterways, and is less than 10 kilometers from the city centre. One can walk around the falls area but it's very safe and one can stand inside the falls and there are even umbrellas provided for people to not get wet!
The man-made waterfall in Kunming is also a paradise for photographers. The surrounding parks are not only full of various flowers and plants, but also have different beautiful scenery throughout the year. When the weather is fine, the water splashed by the waterfall will also produce a strange rainbow. With so many great photo opportunities, those who are interested should act quickly.
