Introduction from Baidu Encyclopedia:
The Hukou Falls of the Yellow River is located in the Yellow River bed of the Qinjin Grand Canyon, 35 kilometers east of Yichuan County and 45 kilometers west of Ji County. The largest yellow waterfall, it is famous both at home and abroad for its majestic momentum. Hukou Waterfall is due to the fact that the Yellow River flows to Hukou, and the Cangshan Mountains on both sides of the bank restrain the Yellow River water in the narrow Yellow River Gorge. The river water gathers and converges into one stream, roaring, jumping into the deep pool, splashing and rolling waves , shaped like yellow water boiling in a giant pot. The huge waves, after forming a gap and pouring into the valley bottom, stirred up clouds of water mist and smoke, making the scenery extremely beautiful. Standing by the river and watching the waterfall, tourists all sing the majestic song "The wind is roaring, the horses are braying, and the Yellow River is roaring."
When the surging Yellow River water flows near Longwang Mountain in Ji County, it suddenly shrinks from 300 meters to 50 meters. It flows straight down and plunges into a deep groove, just like a pot filled with water, so it is called "Hukou". The waves are rolling, the waves are crashing on the shore, and the clouds and mist are clearing. Its majestic momentum is unparalleled. Landscapes related to waterfalls include "thousand-meter long trough", "smoke in the water", "Changhong lying on the waves", "boat sailing on dry land", etc. The scenery of Hukou varies with the four seasons. In the severe winter, the river is frozen and the river suddenly stops flowing; in the spring, the floods roar like thunder; in the midsummer, the floods fill the banks, making it a spectacular sight; in the autumn, the river is filled with rainbows and rainbows fill the sky.
