The Yellow River rushes all the way, winding south at the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi, reaching Jixian County in Shanxi and Yichuan in Shaanxi, being held hostage by Cangshan Mountain on both sides of the strait and imprisoned in a narrow stone valley. When the Yellow River soared, it suddenly narrowed from 300 meters wide to more than 50 meters. At this time, the river roared and roared, and the mountain valley echoed, like a huge pot boiling, and finally fell into a deep ditch, forming a hukou waterfall with a drop of 50 meters.
It is surprising to say that the width and height of Hukou Waterfall are not large, but its flow is considerable. In the winter dry season, the minimum flow per second is only 150 to 300 cubic meters. At this time, the river is frozen and trickling, giving people a sense of beauty. At the beginning of April, once the glacier thawed, the second flow suddenly increased to more than 1 1,000 cubic meters, with a maximum of 8,000 cubic meters. At this time, the huge water flow slammed with a lot of ice, such as the roar of lions and tigers, shaking the earth; In summer, the flow per second increases to 1000 to 2000 cubic meters. At this time, due to the lower water level in the downstream, the drop is increased, and the huge waterfall breaks, causing the water column to shoot directly into the sky like an arrow. In an instant, the water column turns into tiny water droplets, and then a misty white fog is formed, and occasionally a seven-color rainbow appears. In the golden autumn rainy season, thousands of streams and rivers converge, and the river flow increases sharply to more than 3000 cubic meters, and all waterfalls are connected together. At this time, Hongbo roared, surged and thundered, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Hukou Waterfall
Hukou Waterfall is the largest yellow waterfall in the world. In recent years, it is famous for its "flying yellow" feat by many institutions and individuals (such as Ke Shouliang).
Hukou Waterfall is 25 kilometers southwest of Jixian County, Shanxi Province. When the Yellow River flows through this area, the river seems to enter a narrow bottleneck because of the high mountains on both sides. The original width of 300 meters was reduced to more than 50 meters, and finally Hukou Waterfall with a drop of 20 to 30 meters was formed. Standing not far from the waterfall, you can see the stormy sky, which is very spectacular. Timid people had better not stand in the front row.
In the middle of Hukou, where the Yellow River water falls, there is a shining stone called "Turtle Stone", which can fluctuate with the fluctuation of water level. No matter how big or small the water is, it will always show a little bit, adding a bit of mystery to Hukou Waterfall.
There is also a boulder in the river 3000 meters below Hukou Waterfall, which is called "Mengmen Mountain" and is also a place where people watch "Mengmen jathyapple". On the night of each lunar month, the moon hangs high on the bottom of the river. Standing north and looking south, the bright moon in the water is divided into two rows, dancing down; Looking north and south, the bright moon in the water is one.

Travel notes of hukou waterfall
Hukou Waterfall, the second largest waterfall in China, is second only to Huangguoshu Waterfall. The poet Li Bai once wrote a poem: "How magnificent the Xiyue is! The Yellow River is like a silk sky. The Wan Li of the Yellow River touches the mountains, and Panwo Valley is the A Qin mine. " He painted the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River very romantic, magnificent and magnificent. Today, I came to Hukou Waterfall and witnessed this amazing sight.
During the May Day holiday, my parents and I went to Hukou Waterfall. When our car was still driving on Panshan Highway, we could vaguely see Hukou Canyon. Overlooking Hukou Canyon from the mountain, you will see the brown-red exposed rock stratum. The Yellow River rushed through the rocks, roared eastward, and came to an abrupt end before rushing into an unfathomable canyon. The canyon appeared so suddenly, as if it had been cut on the rock by a sharp knife, and the rolling river suddenly disappeared from sight.
Mercedes-Benz soon took us to the front of the canyon. Before you get close to the waterfall, you can hear the deafening sound of water. Close to the edge of the canyon, looking directly at the waterfall, the golden raging waves pour down from a height of tens of meters, and the rolling river is mixed with sediment, rushing, rolling and jumping in the flying! Then it suddenly hit the boulder at the bottom of the canyon, and the waterfall rose again with a loud noise and became a white fog in the air. This scene is like Ma Benteng on the endless grassland and countless golden dragons flying in the sky. The cold river wind blows head-on, which makes people feel awe of the waterfall.
Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is caused by the huge gap between the plain and the valley bottom. The reason why Hukou of the Yellow River can form a canyon is because the water surface of the Yellow River is cut. The riverbed here was originally a flat riverbed similar to the upstream. After thousands of years of natural erosion, this magnificent Hukou Waterfall has been achieved. From now on, the Yellow River will continue to cut the Hukou Gorge, leading to a bigger gap and the Hukou Waterfall will become more spectacular. And this magnificent scene, just like the spirit of our Chinese nation's brave March and tenacious struggle, also makes people feel the vitality of the Chinese nation.
Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is stormy.
At about noon 1 p.m. on July 24th, 2004, the water from Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River increased.
Our family saw a gentleman "splashing water" on the beach behind Hukou Waterfall from a distance, so we went forward to follow suit. However, I heard a local young man who made money by photographing people shouting loudly that the water was going to rise. Ru Ru, an old gentleman, said: When I have no water, how can I quickly lose my foothold and become a river? The photographer said that the water is big now, and it will be bigger in the future and will be flooded. Where can you run in time?
I think this young photographer is very good. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Just ask him to take a photo of our family in front of the waterfall, which is also a business for him. After taking the photo, the young man found that we had our own camera and asked why you didn't bring it. The water is really big now. The three of us said in unison: there is no electricity. The young man immediately took out the battery and said, this is also a rechargeable battery. It's 1.2 volts. Does it work?
How happy I am! So there was a picture of the stormy waves of Hukou Waterfall.
When crossing the Yellow River Bridge, the driver said that another person died today, and he had already drifted down.
From Hukou Waterfall to Linfen, along the way 150 kilometers, people on duty at almost every intersection stand straight. I saw more policemen when I left the toll booth. When entering the downtown area of Linfen, the driver broke into a wide and almost empty avenue, and sirens came from behind.
"Pull over! Pull over! "
Three olive jeeps flew by, followed by two minibuses, followed by several white police cars and cars.
The taxi driver said humorously, now let's pull over. We just cleared the way.
Hearing is empty, seeing is believing. 1987 or so, go to see Huangguoshu Waterfall, which is very beautiful, exquisite and elegant. Hukou Waterfall is also a great beauty, a thick and heroic beauty!
The majestic power of Hukou Waterfall is really great. Sing the Yellow River again. Imagine it!
