Where is Hukou Waterfall

Hukou Waterfall is located at the junction of Shaanxi Province and Shanxi Province in China. It is a magnificent waterfall on the Yellow River and one of the largest yellow waterfalls in the world.

Hukou Waterfall is located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, at the junction of Yichuan County in Shaanxi Province and Jixian County in Shanxi Province. The terrain here is special, and the Yellow River suddenly narrows here, forming a natural "hukou", hence the name.

The upper reaches of Hukou Waterfall are the Yellow River Gorge, where the water flows rapidly. When the water flows through the mouth of the lake, the river suddenly narrows, and the water becomes more turbulent, forming a huge water curtain about 50 meters high and pouring down, making a deafening sound. The stone walls on both sides of the waterfall are steep, and the river hits the rocks, splashing like fog, and the rainbow in the sun is beautiful and spectacular.

The scenery of Hukou Waterfall changes with the seasons and weather. In the rainy season, rivers are abundant, waterfalls are majestic and the sound of water is deafening. In the dry season, the water flow weakens, and the waterfall becomes docile and quiet, but it is still spectacular. In winter, Hukou Waterfall will freeze, forming a unique landscape.

In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery of the waterfall, visitors can also do some activities around Hukou Waterfall. For example, in Yichuan county on the Shaanxi side, tourists can cross the bottom of the waterfall by bamboo raft or rubber boat and feel the excitement of rushing forward. In Jixian County on the Shanxi side, there are scenic spots such as "Hukou Waterfall" and "Pinghu Qiu Ming" for tourists to enjoy.

Hukou Waterfall is not only a natural landscape, but also an important symbol of China culture and history. As the mother river of China, Hukou Waterfall is one of the most representative scenic spots on the Yellow River. It is one of the cradles of China's ancient culture and history, and it is also the pride and pride of modern China people.
