    Only by experiencing Hukou Waterfall in person can one truly appreciate the awe-inspiring power of the Yellow River's roar! The surging, turbid waves plunge into the deep pool like a thousand horses, their thunderous roar echoing through the sky, while the spray brings a refreshing coolness. A rainbow arches against the backdrop of the raging torrents, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. The scenic area's viewing platforms are well-designed, offering multiple angles to appreciate the waterfall's majestic grandeur. This is a baptism of nature's power, a direct display of national spirit—an unforgettable experience!

    The best time to go is in the morning, when the light is best. If you go in the afternoon, the weather needs to be good enough. Inside the magnificent main hall, which uses 14 kilograms of gold, I spent over an hour looking up repeatedly. My neck pain is almost cured! Aside from the main hall, the rest of the hall isn't particularly impressive. A slight drawback is that the security guards kept reminding everyone to leave quickly, which is understandable given the sheer number of people. I imagine there will be fewer people in winter when it's cold, allowing for a quieter contemplation and communion with the thousand Buddhas across time. Once you're there, you'll know it was worth the trip; it's truly breathtaking. Absolutely breathtaking. Absolutely breathtaking.

    I arrived too late the first day; the light wasn't good at 3 PM in winter, so I decided to go again the next day. Finally, I saw the murals! They were truly amazing—vibrant colors, rich details—definitely worth it. The Guang Sheng Temple Pagoda also needs sunlight to look its best. I couldn't take my eyes off it.

    I'd always heard from my family that we migrated from under the Big Locust Tree. Today, I took my parents back to the Big Locust Tree, learned about the migration story, and watched the Big Locust Tree migration performance recommended by our guide. It was truly amazing! We even found out our own surname. The guide's explanations were very unique, and we also learned about the local customs and traditions. The service was excellent too. It was a really great experience! 😊

    It's right next to the hotel where I stayed. I took a quick tour this morning. Most of the buildings are relatively recent, but you can still see relics like the Song Dynasty Well. Yao, one of the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty, his story is worthy of admiration from future generations!
