The river water gathered into a bundle, merged into a stream, roared, jumped into a deep pool, splashed and rolled, and looked like yellow water boiling in a huge pot.

Huge waves, injected into the bottom of the valley after the gap formed, stirred up clouds of water mist and smoke, and the scenery was particularly beautiful.

Standing by the river watching the waterfall, tourists can't help singing the magnificent song "The wind is roaring, the horse is barking, and the Yellow River is roaring".

Introduction to Hukou Waterfall

Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is located 48 kilometers east of Yichuan County, and it is the only big waterfall on the Yellow River.

The mountains on both sides of Hukou confront each other, and the Yellow River passes through the Qin Jin Grand Canyon. When it reached the mouth of the lake, the riverbed, about 400 meters wide, suddenly contracted to 40 to 50 meters wide, forming a very large horseshoe waterfall.

The main waterfall is more than 40 meters wide with a drop of nearly 50 meters.

The rushing Yellow River flows down from the hukou.

Li Bai's poem "How the Yellow River Water Moves Out of the Sky, Into the Sea and Never Returns" depicts the spectacular scene of Hukou Waterfall in the Yellow River.

In recent years, with the success of a series of flying yellow feats by Ke Shouliang and others, Hukou Waterfall has attracted more and more attention from tourists.

Hukou Waterfall is located at the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi, 220km away from Yan 'an. It is the most magnificent waterfall on the Yellow River and the second largest waterfall in China after Huangguoshu Waterfall.

The mountains on both sides of Hukou rise into the sky. When the Yellow River flows through here from the upper reaches, the riverbed suddenly shrinks from 200 to 300 meters wide to tens of meters wide, and finally falls into the narrow valley of Hukou with a drop of more than 50 meters, forming a huge horseshoe-shaped waterfall group.

Hukou Waterfall has different landscapes all year round, and there is plenty of water in summer. It freezes in winter, but summer is the best tourist season.

Only by standing at the hukou, facing the waterfall, witnessing the beauty rolling and hearing the sound of the waves, can we truly appreciate the majestic momentum of the Yellow River rushing and roaring, and in the sense of returning to nature, we will have the reverie of man and nature, the courage and strength to overcome everything, and add a strong sense of national pride.
