The Yellow River flows here, with steep stone walls on both sides and narrow estuaries like Hukou, hence the name Hukou Waterfall.

Hukou Waterfall is very spectacular. The yellow water poured down, the torrent surged, the turbid waves rolled, the foam splashed, the smoke fans were everywhere, the waves roared wildly, and the sound shook for miles. The height of the waterfall can reach15-20m in dry season and 45m in summer and autumn. During the flood, the torrent rolled and gushed out of the deep valley, and the waterfall became a torrent and disappeared. The river flows down the deep valley for 5 kilometers, which is Mengmen. After leaving Mengmen, the water surface widened, the water potential slowed down, and it returned to the scene above the Dragon King.

Recommended sightseeing landscape

(1) Underwater smog

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.

The fog at hukou is related to season and flow. In winter, the river freezes, the waterfalls are mostly ice, and the surface water is reduced. The flow at the spout is reduced to 150-500 cubic meters per second, and the water flows downwards, with little spray and water mist flying out of the tank. In summer, the flow rate increases greatly, the water overflows the deep trough, the drop is very small, the waterfall disappears, and it is not easy to form dense water mist to rise to the sky; In spring and autumn, the flow is moderate, the temperature is not high, the waterfall falls more than 20 meters, and the rapids splash, forming a fog that diffuses in the air, that is, the scene of "underwater smoking".

(2) Play with neon lights

The water mist formed by the repeated impact of Hukou Waterfall rises into the air, which refracts sunlight to form a rainbow. The rainbow is sometimes inserted into the water from the sky in an arc, like a long dragon absorbing water; Sometimes a straight ribbon crosses the water, like a colorful bridge flying frame, and sometimes flowers appear in thick smoke, colorful, erratic and confusing, which is a great wonder of the world.

Neon frolicking in the water is the product of the interaction between "underwater smoke" and sunlight. In spring and autumn, there is smoke at the bottom of the water and dense fog hangs high. Every sunny day, oblique sunlight often forms a rainbow. After the rainy days in summer, sometimes rainbows appear.

(3) The ice peak is upside down

In the dead of winter, the dragon trough is frozen, and the water column formed by turbulence on both sides of the river is like ice peaks of different sizes hanging upside down on the cliff. The rainbow floats in and out, and the colorful colors are set off by crystals, which makes tourists sigh the magic of nature.

(4) Thunder in dry days

The Yellow River passes through the valley, and the surging waves are like hordes, roaring and shaking the valley. The waterfall flies down, hitting rocks and water repeatedly, producing a huge sound, which reverberates in the valley, just like gongs and drums, thunder in dry days, and the sound reaches more than ten miles away. Only near Hukou Waterfall can you really feel the "Yellow River Roar" and "Yellow River Roar", which is very spectacular.

Introduction of tourist attractions in Shanxi

20 17 introduction of tourist attractions in Shanxi

Lead: Shanxi is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. Shanxi is rich in tourism resources. Before the Song Dynasty, the above-ground ancient buildings accounted for more than 70% of the national total, which was called the Museum of Ancient Buildings. Qiu Yun, Hukou Waterfall, Wutai Mountain, Hengshan Mountain in Beiyue, Yungang Grottoes and other national famous tourist attractions have attracted tourists from both inside and outside the province. Let me introduce you to the top ten tourist attractions in Shanxi.

NO. 1 Qiu Yun recommended index: ★★★★★

Qiu Yun is located in Hefenjiao at the southern end of Luliang Mountain, with a total area of 265,438+00 square kilometers. Located at the junction of Xiangning County in Linfen City and Jishan and Xinjiang in Yuncheng City, it belongs to the south of Shanxi Province. Qiu Yun, formerly known as "Kunlun" and commonly known as "Beiding", enjoys the reputation of "the first scenery of Hefen". Qiu Yun is a national AAAA tourist scenic spot with unique natural landscape and rich human landscape.

There are many Taoist buildings in Qiuyun, including more than ten temples, such as Wulong Palace, Babao Palace, Yuhuangding, Zushiding and Yu Lian Cave. There are one-day gate, two-day gate, three-day gate, hanging ladder, cliff plank road and rare ancient activity sites, as well as monuments to soldiers killed in the Anti-Japanese War and many beautiful legends circulated among the people. Among them, the "five wonders" are the most praised.

One of the wonders is the temple fair in Qiuyun Mountain, which is full of incense and lasts for thousands of years. Zhonghe culture has a long history and is profound. This traditional custom originated in Tang Dezong, which is hard to find in the whole country, but it has been preserved and passed down in the mountainous areas of Qiu Yun for thousands of years. Every year from February 14 to 16, nearly 200,000 people from Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and other places spontaneously gather in Qiu Yun. People raise flags, beat drums, sing yangko and carry stairs to temples such as Wulong Palace and Babao Palace to meet the gods and pray for good weather and abundant crops. Young men and women hold whips, hold flower baskets, worship pagodas, face the door, touch dolls, eat jujube flowers, seek a happy marriage and have children.

Erqi Mountain is a treasure house of rare birds and animals, famous flowers and herbs. There are dozens of national first-and second-class rare species such as leopard, brown eared pheasant and dwarf peony. In particular, Elaeagnus mollis, a quaternary glacial relic plant at the same time as dinosaurs, has lived in Qiuyun for millions of years. Strong vitality, the knife can not be cut, lightning can not be struck. The investigation shows that Elaeagnus mollis is only widely distributed in Xiangning, China, and its nutritional value is extremely high. Elaeagnus mollis is a natural and rare high-end consumer product because of its scarce quantity, long growth cycle and low survival rate.

The third miracle is that Qiuyun has a thousand-year-old ice cave, both in winter and summer, which is infinite in magic. The anti-season ice cave in Qiuyuntalpo ditch is called "natural refrigerator". From April to June every year, the sun outside the cave is like fire, but the cave is full of ice, and the cold air attacks people, showing the spectacle of dripping into ice in summer, which is a rare natural wonder.

Siqi is the largest and most ornamental red leaf landscape in Qiu Yun. Every year from June 165438+ 10 to February 65438+February, the red leaves all over the mountains compete for each other, forming a magnificent landscape of thyme red.

The five wonders are the ancient villages in Luxiang County and Qiu Yun, ancient counties and cities in the Tang Dynasty. The ancient city is all made of stone, and the stone buildings, caves, stone quadrangles, stone walls, stone castles and stone alleys in the city are well preserved so far. Especially the quadrangle, the whole building is magnificent and unique. Houses can be integrated and self-contained, which can be called the perfect combination of ancient cities and folk houses. They are living fossils for studying ancient history and architecture.

Magnificent natural scenery, rich history and culture and beautiful folklore make Qiu Yun have infinite charm. The scenic spot is 20 kilometers away from the entrance and exit of Hou Yu Expressway 12 and National Highway 108. The traffic is very convenient. Welcome to visit!
