Hukou Waterfall

The Hukou Waterfall is the largest yellow waterfall in the world. It is also the largest waterfall on the Yellow River. It is situated where the middle reaches of the Yellow River flow through Jinxia Grand Canyon at the confluence of the provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, 165 kilometers to the west of Fenxi County and 50 kilometers to the east of Yichuan County.

The Qilangwo Bridge, which links the provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, is located below the waterfall. When the sun is shining, the mist is bent by the light, forming a rainbow that spans the lake like a vibrant bridge. Hukou Waterfall was recognized as one of the "40 Best" national scenic locations in 1991. Visitors are treated to a spectacular waterfall created by river flows flowing into Hukou Village, which is a sight not to be missed. The falls can be accessed from either side as they pass through the Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Canyon. The benefit of traveling from Shanxi is the chance to see additional sights along the gorgeous Yellow River, in addition to the magnificent Hukou Waterfall, such as the Dragon Cave.

When visiting this stunning waterfall from the Shaanxi side, tourists have the opportunity to take in the Drum Fight, a well-liked spectacle that combines Kungfu, dancing, and percussion music. The largest and most famous yellow waterfall in China offers fantastic possibilities to take in nature at its most breathtaking.
