Yuncheng has a tourist area about Dayu's water control, Yumenkou, Yuncheng.

Also known as Longmen, it is located in the Yellow River Canyon in the northwest of Hejin City 12km. The ancients had the admiration of "three waves in Longmen, one thunder in the flat land", which shows how majestic the surging waves of the Yellow River are here. The Tang poem "Wan Li Roars and the Longmen Surges" vividly depicts the spectacular scene of the Longmen Three Waves. Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics in the Northern Wei Dynasty recorded: "The Longmen was carved by Yu, with a width of 80 steps, and there are still traces among the rocks." Later generations called it Yumen because they missed Dayu's achievements in water control, and passed it on to later generations. Yumen is called "Yumenkou" because it is an ancient ferry and a transportation hub in Qin Jin Province.
