Wonderful recommendation

1. Mengmenshan

Five kilometers downstream of Hukou Waterfall, here, we can see two shuttle-shaped boulders standing proudly in the huge water flow in the riverbed at the bottom of the Yellow River on the right. This is Mengmen Mountain, which was called "the pedal of Jiujiang" in ancient times. At this point, the river is divided into two roads, flying out from both sides of the boulder and merging into one road.

Mengmen "connects Longmen in the south and Hukou in the north for a little days". Its majestic posture, Longmen and Hukou constitute the three wonders of the Yellow River, and it is also famous for its unique style. There is a beautiful sentence in the ancient poem "Fog and rain in the four seasons fascinate the mouth of the lake, and the waves on both sides of the strait shake the door of dreams". "Mengmen jathyapple" is also one of the top ten scenic spots in Hukou.

2. Ice waterfall wonders

On weekdays, Hukou Waterfall, which is "roaring and roaring thousands of cows", presents a different style in its calmness: the Yellow River water flows down from the ice surfaces with different shapes and layers of ice on both sides of the river, and the water mist aroused reflects a beautiful rainbow in the sun, and a beautiful ice bridge rises under the waterfall, which makes people lament the ingenuity of nature.

3. Neon sky

The water mist formed by the repeated impact of Hukou Waterfall rises into the air, which refracts sunlight to form a rainbow. The rainbow sometimes descends from the sky and is inserted into the water in an arc shape, like a long water-absorbing dragon, sometimes a straight ribbon crosses the water surface, like a colorful bridge flying frame, and sometimes flowers appear in the thick smoke, colorful, erratic and confusing. Neon splash is the product of "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, the sun shines obliquely, often forming a rainbow; It's sunny after rain in summer, and sometimes rainbows appear.

4. It thunders in dry days

Wang Fu Reef is located at the northern end of Nanchangshan Island. There is a reef that stands alone in the wind. From a distance, it looks like a fisherman with his back to the cliff, facing the sea, holding his children and expecting his fishing husband to return. Known as "Wang Fu Reef". The main attractions are Guanyin Pavilion, the Olympic Monument, the first "Fu" and geological museum.

5. The ice peak is upside down.

In the dead of winter, the dragon trough is frozen, and the water column formed by the overflow on both sides of the river is like ice peaks of different sizes hanging upside down on the cliff. The rainbow is flickering, colorful and crystal clear, which makes tourists sigh the magic of nature.
