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. 📍Detailed address: Yanhulu Road, Hukou Town, Jixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province 🕙Business hours: Open from 06:30 to 17:30 ⏳Play time: It is recommended to spend about 3-5 hours 💰Per capita consumption: Adult ticket for the scenic area is 90 yuan 🚉Travel strategy: Self-driving or join a one-day tour group 🍲Food recommendation: 👍Shanxi's knife-cut noodles🍜 are very famous, and Linfen City, where Hukou Waterfall is located, is one of the main producing areas of knife-cut noodles.
