Shanxi Hukou Waterfall | Experience the spectacular view of the Yellow River coming from the sky
🏞Hukou Waterfall is a national scenic spot and a national 5A tourist attraction. It is located in Hukou Town, Jixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province to the east, and Hukou Town, Yichuan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province to the west. It is a tourist attraction shared by the two provinces.
🌟Highlights:
Hukou Waterfall is the second largest waterfall in China and the largest yellow waterfall in the world. The Yellow River rushes to this point, with steep cliffs on both sides. The river narrows like a pot mouth, hence the name Hukou Waterfall. An average of one thousand cubic meters of river water per second pours down from a cliff more than 20 meters high, forming the momentum of 'a thousand miles of the Yellow River collected in a pot'.
❤Recommended reasons:
🔸Hukou Waterfall has eight wonders🔸
🌈Smoke from the bottom of the water
The Yellow River enters the 'pot mouth', the rapids rush down, the water mist rises, and the clouds connect with the sky. It looks like thick smoke coming out from the bottom of the water, which can be seen from ten miles away.
🌈Boating on dry land
Now you can only see the traces left by boating in the past.
🌈Rainbow playing in the water
The water mist formed by the repeated impact of Hukou Waterfall rises into the air, causing the sunlight to refract and form a rainbow.
🌈Mountains fly and seas stand
The Yellow River passes through a thousand-mile-long gorge, and the turbulent rapids rush to the pot mouth. Suddenly the flow is restrained and a spectacular waterfall is formed. Looking up at the water curtain, the rolling yellow water pours down from the sky, like thousands of mountains flying and the four seas pouring, forming the core view of Hukou Waterfall.
🌈Rain in clear sky
The hanging waterfall flows, and the formed water mist floats into the sky. Although the sun is in the sky, it is like a drizzle near the waterfall, wetting people's clothes.
🌈Thunder in dry weather
The Yellow River travels through the gorge, the surging waves are like thousands of troops and horses, roaring and shaking the river valley. When the waterfall falls and repeatedly hits the rocks and the water surface, it makes a huge noise, which echoes in the valley, just like thousands of drums beating together, thunder in dry weather, and the sound is transmitted ten miles away.
🌈Ice peaks hanging upside down
In the winter season, the dragon trough is frozen, and the water columns formed by the streams on both sides are like ice peaks of different sizes hanging upside down on the cliff. The rainbow appears and disappears from time to time, moving among them, the colorful and crystal clear complement each other, making tourists sigh at the magic of nature.
🌈Ten miles of dragon trough
Looking at the dragon trough from a distance, the winding stone trough in the gorge looks like a giant dragon shaking its head and wagging its tail. The pot mouth is the dragon's head, swallowing the huge flow of the Yellow River, and Mengmen is the dragon's tail, discharging the river water downstream.

Hukou Waterfall went twice, once in Shaanxi, once in Shanxi, the experience is very good, very spectacular, there are many people during May 1st, there are many observation points, so you can watch it up close, and you can play in two hours.
The scene is definitely more beautiful than the photo, it is really worth seeing. Time may be an hour. Looking at Hukou Waterfall can be in Shanxi and Shaanxi two locations. The small traffic on Shanxi is 20 yuan, which is closer. It is said that in Shanxi in the morning, you can see the rainbow in Shaanxi in the afternoon, and there is no chance to verify.
It’s too shocking. It’s really the Yellow River roaring. You can go to the entrance of the scenic spot by car. You don’t have to walk. You don’t have to be tired or tired. You can also take pictures with the little donkey. You can listen to the creativity of your friends. There are many people taking pictures! In short, it is a worthwhile trip.
The river poured in from a five hundred-meter-wide river, its momentum as thousands of horses, squeezed, bumped, pushed, huddled, huddled, smashed into the stone wall, and crushed into piles of snow when rowing yellow waves; the rainbow rose from the bottom of the ditch, through the dragon trough, through the mist, disappeared into the blue background of the distant mountains.
This is the mother river of the Chinese nation, a big waterfall on the Yellow River. Its fame is unquestionable, and you will be shocked by his majestic momentum on the spot. The huge waves roll and the sound is shaking, so that you can't help but sigh, nature's magical work. However, there was no order when visiting, and there were a lot of people during the Golden Week, and everyone was crowded. The traffic shuttle bus in the scenic spot is not far away, and you can walk there. I think the shuttle bus is set up to make money.
The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation and raised Chinese children! The rain in March was not big, but the Hukou Waterfall was still shocking! Coming to Hukou Waterfall is the dream of countless Chinese people. Come here, the Yellow River chorus, defend the Yellow River, the meteorite sea... will naturally emerge in the mind... Shanxi side is optimistic in the morning, Shaanxi side is optimistic in the afternoon!
At 1:30 noon, I arrived in the scenic area. The scene was spectacular and a bit shocking. I thought of the wisdom of being good and like water. I couldn't help but sigh that I was too small and didn't repair it. I couldn't do it with my head down. The philosophy of the world is too important. Learn well and go up every day!
Very satisfied with the itinerary! I thought May was a dry season but the white and clear Hukou waterfall was still magnificent and magnificent, making people feel worthwhile. Our tour guide is sister Liu Lin. On the way from Linyi to the scenic spot, the tour guide sister introduced us to the surrounding geographical environment and customs and specialties, especially the price of the scenic spot told us that we had a good idea. The whole process is serious and responsible, especially when we are late in the scenic spot because we are lost and come back late, my sister also called the car to wait for us at the door, thank you very much. very good!
