Why make time for this place?
The Huangguoshu area includes more than one waterfall view, with river valleys, paths and water features on different scales. What you can see depends on current access, shuttles and your group's comfort.
Rain, water levels and light change the falls markedly. Focus on the real landscape rather than expecting one promotional photograph.
