Hukou moves upstream at a speed of about 70 cm every year under the erosion and erosion of the waterfall!
In the process of moving, Hukou Waterfall opened a dragon trough with a depth of about 60 meters and a width of about 30 ~ 40 meters on this gravel riverbed, so Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty wrote in the Notes on Water Classics: "Water can enter the stone without a stone chisel, believe it!"
The farther you go to the hukou, the deafening sound of water becomes. The 400-meter-wide river was suddenly bundled into columns less than 50 meters like a funnel, forming a huge horseshoe-shaped waterfall that went straight into a stone trough 30 meters deep. It's really "a pot of the Yellow River in the world".
According to reports, Hukou Waterfall has a drop of about 30 meters, a maximum width of 1000 meters and a maximum waterfall surface of 30,000 square meters. The torrent quickly gathers here, injecting people into deep pools, and the sound is like thunder, which can be heard several kilometers away; The water waves splash violently, stirring up a hundred feet of water column, forming a steaming fog, which really has the potential to hit the shore, emptying the turbid waves and rolling up the long smoke. Its sound, posture and scenery are touching.
