What are the characteristics of Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River?

Magnificent momentum, strange surrounding natural landscape, the world's yellowest waterfall.

Hukou Waterfall is located in the Qin Jin Canyon in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, west to Hukou Township, Yichuan County, Shaanxi Province and east to Jixian County, Shanxi Province. It is the second largest waterfall in China after Huangguoshu Waterfall.

On both sides of Hukou, Cangshan was held hostage. At this point, the Yellow River in Wan Li suddenly contracted from more than 300 meters wide to more than 50 meters. The vast Yellow River suddenly harvested a bunch of water, plunged straight down from the hukou of the Yellow River with a drop of more than 30 meters, and ran into the Shililong trough. Named for its shape like a spout. Hukou Waterfall is a national-level scenic spot with spectacular momentum and strange surrounding natural landscape.

Extended data:

Hukou Waterfall is the second largest waterfall in China and the largest yellow waterfall in the world. The Yellow River flows here, with steep stone walls on both sides and narrow estuaries like Hukou, hence the name Hukou Waterfall. The water surface of the Yellow River upstream of the waterfall is 300 meters wide and is compressed to 20-30 meters wide in a long distance of less than 500 meters. 1 1,000 cubic meters/second of river water pours down from a steep cliff more than 20 meters high, forming the spirit of "a pot of Yellow River travels thousands of miles".

Hukou Waterfall is located in the southern section of Qin Jin Canyon, about 65km south of Longmen and 5km south of Mengmen. Hexi is located in Yichuan County, Shaanxi Province, and Hedong is connected with Jixian County, Shanxi Province, which is the waterfall landscape of China Grand Canyon.

In Hukou area, the west bank of the Yellow River is steep and gentle, with the valley bottom about 400 meters wide and the height from the valley bottom to Longwangpo about 150 meters. The cliff bank is steep, the valley above Longwangpo widens and the valley slope is gentle. The section of the Yellow River is valley-shaped, and its width is the same as the narrow valley north of Longwangtun.

The river is covered with narrow valleys, with constant water flow,1000-3,000 cubic meters per second, and the water surface is more than 400 meters wide. Below the Dragon King, the water flows to the hukou and rushes into a deep trough at the flat valley bottom (a small river trough is set in the big river trough).

Along with the waterfall comes a series of strange scenery, including eight wonders, which are called: underwater smoking, land navigation, neon play in the water, flying mountains on the sea, clear sky rain, thunder in dry days, ice peaks hanging upside down, and ten-mile dragon groove.

When the Yellow River enters the hukou, the turbulent flow falls rapidly, and the water mist aroused rises into the air, and the steaming clouds meet the sky, like the billowing smoke from the bottom of the water, which can be seen from more than ten miles away.
