The Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is located in the bed of the Yellow River in the Qin-Jin Grand Canyon. To the east of the waterfall is the Linfen area of ​​Shanxi, to the west is Yichuan County, Yan'an, Shaanxi, and Hukou Waterfall is located in Shaanxi, about 35 kilometers east of Yichuan County, Yan'an City. Because the Yellow River water carries a lot of sediment, it has become a rare golden waterfall in the world.

When the Yellow River roared all the way to the Qinjin Gorge, the width of the river suddenly shrank from more than 400 meters to 50 meters, and poured into a stone trough with a drop of 30 meters. It was named Hukou Waterfall because of its shape like a teapot pouring water. Here, the water of the Yellow River is gathered by the gorge and converged into one stream. It rushes down, jumps into the deep pool, splashes huge waves, and stirs up clouds of water mist. The scene is extremely spectacular. Standing by the river and watching, you are all shocked. It is also known as the "national spirit", "the soul of the Yellow River" and the spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation's courageous advancement.

Hukou Waterfall has different scenery throughout the year. The best time to visit is divided into two parts. One is from April to May every year, when the peach blossoms near the waterfall are in full bloom, and the frozen ice on the shore begins to melt. Peach Blossom Flood in March". The second is from September to November every year. At this time, the rainy season just passes, and there are occasional autumn winds blowing, often accompanied by rainbows, which is called "Hukou Autumn Wind". In spring and autumn, the amount of water is relatively large, and the sound of water splashing is like thunder, which is more shocking than usual.

In addition, it is possible to see the "Wonder of the Ice Falls" in winter. The river flows straight down from the icicles of different shapes on both sides, and a beautiful ice bridge is built under the waterfall. The water column formed by the overflow on both sides hangs upside down on the cliff like an ice peak.

must see tips

1. The river bank next to the waterfall is basically a large flat rock with a layer of loess on the surface, which is easy to slip and fall. Tourists need to pay special attention.
2. It is recommended to bring an extra piece of clothing. There will be water mist floating by the waterfall, and the wind is relatively strong by the waterfall, so keeping warm is very important.
3. In the scenic area, there is a business of riding a donkey to take pictures for a fee. Do not go behind the ass of the donkey, lest the donkey kick you.
