Is Hukou Waterfall as spectacular as the legend? Which month is more suitable for going?

Hukou Waterfall is as spectacular as the legend, and you can go there in any month.

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. 1000 cubic meters/second, the river pours down from a steep cliff more than 20 meters high, forming the spirit of a bumper harvest in a basin of the Yellow River. ?

The award of the honor of the National Yellow River Hukou Water Conservancy Scenic Area has become the fourth national-level business card of Hukou Scenic Area after the National Geopark and Geological Relics Protection Area, the National Key Scenic Area and the National 4A-level Scenic Area.

Extended data:

Hukou Waterfall has a great drop, the deep trough under the waterfall is narrow and deep, and the water is fast, which brings great difficulties to the passage of ships on the water supply. Ships descending downstream from the upper reaches of Hukou must first stop at Longwangtun above Hukou, and all the goods will be disembarked and carried to the downstream wharf by people and animals on both sides of the river.

At the same time, pull the empty boat out of the water by manpower, lay logs under the boat, roll along the river bank with the empty boat, then put the boat into the water, load the goods and continue to dive. It takes a lot of effort to tug by hand on shore.

It often takes hundreds of people to pull the fiber desperately. Although there are some rounded wooden poles under the boat, the stone riverbank at the bottom of the boat is still scratched by nails. Under the conditions at that time, "dry land navigation" may be the best choice for water transportation across Hukou Waterfall, which is suitable for the relatively gentle stone shore above and below Hukou Waterfall.
