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]
On 5 October 2015, a recently opened glass walkway to the mountain cracked two weeks after opening causing the closure of the walkway.[2][3][4]
Controversy
[edit]Situated within Yuntai Geo park, with a fall of 314 metres (1,030 ft), Yuntai waterfall has been claimed to be the tallest uninterrupted waterfall in China.[5][6] However, in June 2024 a large metal pipe was discovered built high into the rock face.[7] Officials stated that the pipe was to ensure tourists see a flow of water even during the dry season.[7][8]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
