• Hukou Waterfall

• None

• Breakfast

Early in the morning you will arrive at the spectacular Hukou Falls, which is the second largest waterfall in China and the largest yellow waterfall in the world.
The Yellow River suddenly closes here, forming a narrow gorge like the mouth of a pot, hence the name "Hukou Falls".

When you stand in front of the Hukou Waterfall, you will be shocked by its spectacular scenery. The water of the Yellow River pours down from the cliff hundreds of meters high, sounding like thunder. Upstream of the waterfall, the Yellow River water surface was originally wide, but within a distance of less than 500 meters, it was compressed to a width of only 20-30 meters, making the water flow more turbulent and the impact force is huge.

After visiting Hukou Waterfall, you will head to the train station to take the train to your next destination.

Note:
1. Best time to view: Hukou Falls is best viewed from May to October. At this time, the waterfall is abundant and majestic, which is the best time to appreciate the beauty of the waterfall.
2. Dragon Cave Exploration: You can also enjoy Hukou Falls from another angle by visiting the Dragon Cave located below the falls to look up at the Hukou Falls (RMB 20 entrance fee applies).
