What is the best viewing period of Hukou Waterfall?

The best viewing period of Hukou Waterfall is divided into 1 and April-May in spring, which coincides with the third month of the lunar calendar. Peach blossoms are in full bloom all over the mountain, and the frozen ice cliffs on the shore melt, which is called "Peach Blossom Flood in March".

Just after the rainy season in September ~165438+1in autumn, many mountain springs and streams along the river gather a lot of clear water, and the autumn wind blows gently, and rainbows often appear. These two periods are called "Hukou Autumn Wind". The water is large and steady, and the width of the waterfall can reach about 1000 meters.

Hukou Waterfall is a national scenic spot and a national 4A-level tourist attraction. It borders Hukou Township, Yichuan County, Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province in the west and Hukou Town, Jixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province in the east. It is a tourist attraction of the two provinces.

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 300 meters wide and is compressed to 20-30 meters wide in a long distance of less than 500 meters. 1 1,000 cubic meters/second of river water pours down from a steep cliff more than 20 meters high, forming the spirit of "a pot of Yellow River travels thousands of miles".

Hukou Waterfall is a bright pearl embedded in the Jiuqu Yellow River and the only golden waterfall in the world.

"The source of Kunlun Mountain is Daxi, and Yumenguan is turned into a pot." The Yellow River flows through the Huangshi Plateau and enters the Qin Jin Canyon. The riverbed suddenly shrinks from 400 meters wide to 400 meters wide, just like a giant pot filled with soup, hence the name Hukouyuan.

Known at home and abroad, the Hukou Waterfall National Scenic Area of the Yellow River, known as "the wonder of the world and the soul of China", is inspired by the Waterfall Canyon, Shililong Trough, Mengmen Jin Yao, Longwangtun Site, Wang Dayu Temple, Gudu Town and Hukou, which not only shows the magnificent natural wonders of the mother river, but also breeds the roots and souls of the Chinese nation.
