Hukou Waterfall| A Spectacular Sight of the Yellow River, a guide to avoid pitfalls for self-driving tour in Xi'an

| A Spectacular Sight of the Yellow River, a guide to avoid pitfalls for self-driving tour in Xi'an. Hukou Waterfall, a wonder of the Yellow River! The image on the back of the fourth set of fifty yuan RMB, the rushing Yellow River in the desperate love of the Yellow River, is this section of the yellow waterfall. Hukou Waterfall is the boundary of two provinces, each province has its own tourist center, the scenery seen on both sides of the Yellow River is different.!! Highly recommend the scenery on the Shanxi side. The waterfall is more spectacular on the opposite side. 🗺️Route and duration: 🧭Self-driving navigation 'Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area Parking Lot', the whole tour including the scenic area car 1.5-2 hours. My route: Xi'an Hukou Waterfall Yan'an Ganquan Grand Canyon (My collection album: Where to play in Shaanxi, you can find the guide) Xi'an 📷Photo position: I didn't take good photos this time, it was cold and windy and I was a little shivering 1. In front of the fence around the waterfall 2. Standing on the rock, the lens is from bottom to top, half body + waterfall sky behind 3. There are small black donkeys, I am afraid of animals, did not try, riding on wearing a flower jacket, very Northwestern atmosphere ⭐️🌟Notes: 1. Wear waterproof and anti-wear shoes 2. No need to buy raincoats and shoe covers on non-rainy days It rained the day I went, the parking lot was full of large and small puddles, yellow mud puddles, not easy to walk. I wore rain boots, my family's fat man bought a pair of shoe covers, his feet are big and can't wear them, and they are not slip-resistant, not recommended to buy. 3. Once again, recommend the Shanxi side. Thank you for reading my share, if you like it or find it a bit valuable , welcome to like + collect 🌈Update 1-2 travel experiences every week, how to play with less effort, or suitable for my kind of clumsy party photo position

Without seeing the Hukou Waterfall, it's hard to recognize the true face of the Yellow River

The waterfall is located to the east of Hukou Town, Jixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province, China, and to the west of Hukou Township, Yichuan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, China. The Yellow River rushes to Hukou, dividing Shanxi and Shaanxi from east to west. The cliffs on both sides of the river are steep, and the river mouth is narrowed like a pot mouth, hence the name Hukou Waterfall. Hukou Waterfall Tourist Area is an AAAAA-level scenic spot where the natural landscape and cultural attractions of the Loess Plateau are integrated. Hukou Waterfall is the second largest waterfall in China and the largest yellow waterfall in the world. The Yellow River is covered with a thin layer of loess on both sides, and the water flow varies greatly during the flood season, dry season, and abundant water season. Affected by climate, geology and other natural environments, the upstream water surface of the Hukou Waterfall is rapidly compressed from 300 meters to 20-30 meters within a distance of less than 500 meters, and then falls from a cliff of more than 20 meters at a rate of 1000 cubic meters per second, forming a natural landscape of 'the Yellow River in a thousand miles is collected in a pot'. The scenic area has different scenery in all four seasons, not only the main waterfall, the secondary waterfalls on both sides, 'Ten Mile Dragon Trough', 'Stone Nest Treasure Mirror', 'Underground Waterfall Viewing Corridor', 'Chessboard Formation', 'Erosion Trough' and other natural landscapes, but also Heqingmen Wharf, Qing Dynasty Great Wall, Bull and Horse King Temple and many other cultural attractions. It is widely acclaimed as 'Without seeing the Hukou Waterfall, it's hard to recognize the true face of the Yellow River'.
