Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, which is stronger, Shanxi or Shaanxi? (With guide)

Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, the second largest waterfall in China (the largest is Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou) and the largest yellow waterfall in the world. Because the Yellow River flows from a river width of 300 meters to here, the river mouth suddenly narrows to a width of about 30 meters, hence the name Hukou (Kettle Mouth). The Hukou Waterfall is spectacular, with surging river water pouring down, turbulent rapids, like thousands of horses galloping, the splashing water can form a misty fog, and a rainbow can be seen in good weather. The east side of Hukou Waterfall is Hukou Town, Jixian County, Linfen, Shanxi, and the west side is Hukou Town, Yichuan County, Yan'an, Shaanxi. In order not to have regrets, I checked in at the two Hukou Waterfall scenic spots in Shanxi and Shaanxi in one day, which side is more magnificent? Shanxi's! I'll say the conclusion first, with photos as proof (Figure 2⃣️) The left side of the photo is Shaanxi Scenic Area, and the right side is Shanxi Scenic Area. The Yellow River's water is larger in Shaanxi than in Shanxi, so the Shaanxi Scenic Area cannot see the most majestic and spectacular section of the Yellow River waterfall below. And the Shaanxi Scenic Area needs to build a bridge on the water, and some ground will be flooded when the water is large, and it is a bit dangerous when there are many people crowded. In contrast, the viewing area of Shanxi Scenic Area is flat, open and very dry. So close to the gorge where the Hukou Waterfall converges, only the viewing platform in Shanxi is left. 🍁Advantages of the two provincial scenic spots Shaanxi Can see the waterfall scene on the fourth set of RMB 50 yuan (Figure 3⃣️) The hotel in the scenic area can see the Hukou Waterfall from the balcony The construction and management of the scenic area is more complete, with snack streets Shanxi Facing the most magnificent section of Hukou Waterfall The viewing area is large and flat and easy to walk 🍁Disadvantages of the two provincial scenic spots Shaanxi The distance of the scenic area bus is longer Because it is on the side of the Hukou Waterfall with a larger water flow, it is impossible to see the most spectacular section at close range, and the viewing platform will be flooded when the river water is too large, which is a bit dangerous. Shanxi The parking lot is under major repair and is very chaotic There are no restaurants and snack stalls in the scenic area, all outside the scenic area The cave behind the waterfall is not open Because it is close to the mouth of the waterfall, there is mud in the water mist 🍁Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Tourist Area (Shaanxi side) Address: Yanhu Road, Hukou Town, Yichuan County, Yan'an, Shaanxi Opening hours: 8:00-17:00 Ticket: 100 yuan/adult Scenic area bus ticket: 40 yuan/person Parking fee: 10 yuan 🍁Shanxi Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Tourist Area Address: Hukou Scenic Area, 309 National Road, Jixian County, Linfen, Shanxi Opening hours: 8:00-17:00 Adult ticket + scenic area transportation: 120 yuan Parking fee: 10 yuan
