Hukou Waterfall(Chinese: 壺口瀑布) is located at the borders of Shanxi and Shaanxi, hen the Yellow River approaches the Hukou Mountain, its width is abruptly narrowed down. The water's velocity increases, and then plunges over a cliff as if water were pouring down from a huge teapot. Hence it gets the name Hukou (literally, ‘flask mouth’) Waterfall.
Inside the tourist area there is concrete pavement, quite convenient but still slippery, be careful when you are walking on it.
You need some luck to view Hukou Waterfall, if the volume of water is too small, the waterfall looks weak, but if the volume of water is too big, the waterfall may be not high enough and lacks power.
Choumeizai is very lucky this time, since the volume of water is moderate, the waterfall looks more splendid.
On the riverside lie many unmelted ice cubes, all are covered with a thin layer of loess, look like rocks.
To remind you, there are plenty of small waterfalls downstream, they are not as strong as the big one but look more elegant, a good place to take beautiful photos.
