The Asian Waterfalls Quiz – Water From the Mountains

Asia's waterfalls are powered by monsoon rains and mountain rivers. Many reach their peak during the rainy season, when narrow streams become thundering curtains of water.

Each waterfall has its own character. Kuang Si's milky turquoise pools come from limestone, Hukou turns golden with Yellow River silt and Nohkalikai plunges into a green pool in one of the wettest places on Earth.

Visitors should follow safety rules. Wet rocks are slippery, currents near falls can be strong and some pools close in heavy rain to protect swimmers.
