Hukou Waterfall

The Hukou Waterfall, is the biggest waterfall on the Yellow River, the second biggest waterfall in China after the Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou, and the world's biggest yellow waterfall. It is situated at the crossing point of the territories of Shanxi and Shaanxi, 165 km 103 mi toward the west of Fenxi City, and 50 km 31 mi toward the east of Yichuan where the center ranges of the Yellow River move through Jinxia Grand Canyon. The width of the waterfall changes with the season, for the most part 30 meters 98 ft wide yet expanding to 50 m 164 ft amid surge season.

It has a tallness of more than 20 m 66 ft. At the point when the Yellow River approaches the Hukou Mountain, obstructed by mountains on the two sides, its width is suddenly limited to 20 m 66 ft - 30 m 98 ft. The water's speed increments, and after that dives over a restricted opening on a bluff, framing a waterfall 15 m 49 ft high and 20 m 66 ft wide, as though dilute were pouring from a gigantic tea kettle. Consequently it gets the name Hukou Waterfall.

Amidst the waterway, around 3,000 m 9,843 ft from the Hukou Waterfall, a gigantic shake grabs the eye of guests. At the point when the Yellow River streams to this point, isolates into two, rolling and thundering endlessly from the two sides of the stone before reconverging. Because of its cumbersome area in the Loess Plateau hinterlands, Hukou was once extremely hard to get to. After the neighborhood government enhanced transport and traveler offices, the quantity of sightseers ascended from 20,000 of every 1994 to 47,000 of every 1995.
