Hukou Waterfall Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
You should always take a look at the raging Yellow River
Although it is not the flood season of the Yellow River now, the surging of the Hukou Waterfall will not cease. Don't ask me why I didn't take photos right next to the waterfall; I've tried, I really have, and got completely soaked...
The Yellow River Hukou Waterfall is divided into the Shaanxi side and the Shanxi side, and this time I visited the Shaanxi side, which is very convenient. You can park your car and walk directly to the riverside.
The spirit of the Yellow River can really affect people; standing by it, I feel my mind is exceptionally open. It is said that a few days ago there was not much sand and soil, and everyone could see the emerald green river water flowing down the waterfall, which is a different kind of romance.
It's especially worthwhile; everyone should see the Yellow River at least once in their life!
If you can, taking a helicopter ride to overlook the entire magnificent view is also an option.
China's second largest waterfall, the world's largest yellow waterfall awaits your exploration!
Hukou Waterfall, a place that stirs the soul, is not only a national scenic spot but also a national 5A-level tourist attraction. It is located at the border of Hukou Town, Jixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province, and Hukou Town, Yichuan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province. Here, the Yellow River puts on a magnificent display, a perfect fusion of nature and history.
🌟The eight wonders of Hukou Waterfall, each one is breathtaking:
Water Smoking from the Bottom: The mist raised by the turbulent water flow is like thick smoke bubbling from the bottom, a spectacular sight.
Boating on Dry Land: Although now one can only see the traces of history, it is enough to imagine the bustling scene of the past.
Neon Playing in the Water: The rainbow refracted by the sunlight, playing with the waterfall, is overwhelmingly beautiful.
Mountains Flying and Seas Standing: The Yellow River's rapids suddenly converge at Hukou, forming a spectacular waterfall with a majestic momentum.
Rain Sprinkling from a Clear Sky: The mist formed by the waterfall, even under a clear sky, gives the feeling of a gentle rain.
Thunder in a Dry Sky: The loud sound of the waterfall, like thunder in a dry sky, is heart-shaking.
Ice Peaks Hanging Upside Down: In the deep winter, the frozen waterfall is like ice peaks hanging upside down, stunningly beautiful.
Ten-Mile Dragon Trough: Looking at the Dragon Trough from afar, it is like a giant dragon, with the Hukou Waterfall roaring like the dragon's roar.

A spectacular sight of the Yellow River! The magnificent secret realm behind the Hukou Waterfall
🔥A spectacular sight of the Yellow River! The magnificent secret realm behind the Hukou Waterfall🔍
🏞️ Hidden in the Lüliang Mountains, encounter the waterfall's serendipity✨
In the landscape gallery of western Shanxi, the Hukou Waterfall hides its unknown beauty.🌟 Jixian and Yichuan, these two small towns guard the gifts of nature, waiting for your footsteps.👣 To explore this treasure of the world, you must be ready with an explorer's heart!
🌊 Cultural imprints, the epic of the waterfall📖
The roar of the Yellow River is not only visually stunning but also an important chapter in the long river of history.💰 The waterfall on the fourth series of RMB is a Shanxi calling card, and even the movie 'Still Life' has become a link.🎬 Behind the waterfall, the legends of Yu the Great's water control, the story of Chong'er, and the revolutionary years, each story adds more charm to Hukou.
📸 A photography paradise, capturing spectacular moments📷
Standing in front of the waterfall, baptized by the yellow sand, every frame is a masterpiece of nature. Whether it's a close view from Longdong in Shanxi or a photo taken from the cliffs of Shaanxi, each is an irreplaceable memory.📷 For those traveling independently, remember to plan your transportation well, and for those on a road trip, the challenging slopes await your adventure.
🏠 Travel tips, plan your journey🚗
Departing from Linfen, a day trip is a good choice, but if you want to travel independently, the Yaotemple shuttle bus is just the beginning, and carpooling or chartering a car in Jixian is the shortcut to Hukou.🛣️
Don't hesitate, prepare your camera, and have an impromptu encounter with the Hukou Waterfall!🏞️
Xi'an, a city you don't want to leave once you arrive
A very popular song years ago goes: Beneath the city walls of Xi'an lies Xi'an's train, and no matter where Xi'an people go, they can't do without eating pao mo...
It took me to Xi'an, where everyone says the most beautiful is the everlasting night city of the Great Tang. I marvel at the magnificence and vastness of the Mother River, and how the great landscapes of the motherland can make you suddenly see the light. Strolling and eating on the Muslim Street, the meat-filled rou jia mo can make your mouth greasy.
It's been eight years since I went to Xi'an, why do I only think of making a note now? I still feel that I can't leave the memories in my mind, I'm afraid that over time I will forget. This note doesn't have a very detailed guide, one reason is because too much time has passed and Xi'an must have changed a lot by now, and the other is that we went there by train during our student days, which was a budget trip. But I highly recommend going to the Hukou Waterfall to experience the charm of the Yellow River's mouth, and if possible, take a helicopter ride to feel the sensation of hovering over the Yellow River! Xi'an has a special place in my heart, with its retro city walls and modern buildings, the visual impact is particularly strong. Walking on the city wall at night, you can enjoy the beautiful night view of Xi'an, and cycling around the city wall is a unique experience.
Xi'an has left me with few memories, wait for me to come again!

Renzu Mountain Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Shanxi hides the most thrilling ancient architecture in China, which is breathtakingly beautiful
The Gao Temple in the Renzu Mountain Scenic Area of Linfen, Shanxi, has a staircase to the top that resembles a miniature Great Wall, with a total of 185 steps. Interestingly, different people will count different results.
Renzu Mountain is the highest peak at the southern end of the Luliang Mountain Range, located to the east of the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River. On top of this vertical peak of more than 200 meters, there is a small temple, which is incredible. To climb it, you need to climb step by step, level by level. Walking on it doesn't feel like anything, but when you look at it from a different angle, it's suddenly thrilling. It is known as one of the most thrilling ancient buildings in China, so beautiful that it makes people's legs weak. Travel Tips
Take the high-speed train to Linfen West Station, and you can go to the Renzu Mountain Scenic Area in Jixian County, which is a two-hour journey.
Self-driving can navigate to the high-speed entrance of Renzu Mountain Scenic Area, and the tourist service center is right off the car.
After arriving at the scenic area, go to Worry-free Villa, you can make an appointment with a guide to lead a hike and feel the coolness of the original forest. The temperature on the mountain is at least five degrees lower than that in the city, which is very cool.
It is recommended to wear suitable clothes and shoes for mountain climbing.

Hukou Waterfall| A Spectacular Sight of the Yellow River, a guide to avoid pitfalls for self-driving tour in Xi'an
| A Spectacular Sight of the Yellow River, a guide to avoid pitfalls for self-driving tour in Xi'an. Hukou Waterfall, a wonder of the Yellow River! The image on the back of the fourth set of fifty yuan RMB, the rushing Yellow River in the desperate love of the Yellow River, is this section of the yellow waterfall.
Hukou Waterfall is the boundary of two provinces, each province has its own tourist center, the scenery seen on both sides of the Yellow River is different.!! Highly recommend the scenery on the Shanxi side. The waterfall is more spectacular on the opposite side.
🗺️Route and duration:
🧭Self-driving navigation 'Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area Parking Lot', the whole tour including the scenic area car 1.5-2 hours.
My route: Xi'an Hukou Waterfall Yan'an Ganquan Grand Canyon
(My collection album: Where to play in Shaanxi, you can find the guide) Xi'an
📷Photo position: I didn't take good photos this time, it was cold and windy and I was a little shivering
1. In front of the fence around the waterfall
2. Standing on the rock, the lens is from bottom to top, half body + waterfall sky behind
3. There are small black donkeys, I am afraid of animals, did not try, riding on wearing a flower jacket, very Northwestern atmosphere
⭐️🌟Notes:
1. Wear waterproof and anti-wear shoes
2. No need to buy raincoats and shoe covers on non-rainy days
It rained the day I went, the parking lot was full of large and small puddles, yellow mud puddles, not easy to walk. I wore rain boots, my family's fat man bought a pair of shoe covers, his feet are big and can't wear them, and they are not slip-resistant, not recommended to buy.
3. Once again, recommend the Shanxi side.
Thank you for reading my share, if you like it or find it a bit valuable
