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

Hukou Waterfall is as spectacular as the legend. You can go 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 3 meters wide, and it is compressed to a width of 2-3 meters within a long distance of less than 5 meters. The river water of 1 cubic meters per second pours down from the steep cliff more than 2 meters high, forming the spirit of a pot of harvest in the Yellow River. ?

in December, 213, the Hukou Water Conservancy Scenic Spot of the Yellow River in Yichuan County was awarded as one of the thirteenth national water conservancy scenic spots by the leading group for the construction and management of water conservancy scenic spots of the Chinese people and the Ministry of Water Resources.

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

Extended information:

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

at the same time, pull the empty boat out of the water by manpower, lay round wooden bars under the boat, roll it along the river bank with the empty boat, and then put it into the water, load the goods and continue to descend. It takes a lot of effort to tug the boat by manpower on the shore.

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