The stone walls on both sides stand steeply. The river mouth is narrow as a Hukou, so it is named Hukou Waterfall. The water surface of the Yellow River upstream of the Hukou Falls is about 300 meters wide. When it is close to the Hukou, it is compressed to a width of 20 to 30 meters in a short distance of less than 500 meters. The river water of 1,000 cubic meters per second pours from the cliff more than 20 meters high, forming the style of "a thousand miles of Yellow River harvests in one pot".
