Linfen→Hukou Scenic Area Bus: Arrive at Linfen Yaomiao Bus Station before 7 am, buy tickets on site (about 40 yuan/person), the journey takes 2.5 hours and goes directly to the entrance of the scenic area. Self-driving/chartering: suitable for 3-4 people to share a car, with more flexible time. If you are short on time, you can just sign up for a one-day tour and save yourself the hassle. Itinerary morning: Depart from Linfen at 7:00 → Arrive at the scenic spot at 10:00 → Head straight to the main waterfall (The view from the west side of the mountain is even more stunning!) noon: 12:00 Eat a simple meal near the scenic area (Jixian lele noodles are recommended. 10-15 yuan/bowl) afternoon: 13:00 Go deep into the waterfall viewing area (find the entrance to the "Dragon Cave", 20 yuan/person Go to the bottom of the waterfall and look up at the huge waves of the Yellow River! ) 14:30 Visit folk stalls (take photos while riding a donkey, wear a flowery jacket and experience the Yellow River Tune) Return at 16:00 (the latest bus leaves at 17:00, don’t miss it!) Tips for taking photos (key to taking photos) 1. Camera position: at the railing of the main waterfall and at the bottom of the dragon cave (there is a lot of water mist, so the phone is waterproof!). 2. Outfit: Bright-colored clothes (red/yellow) are more photogenic; don’t wear white (it will get dirty if splashed with mud or water). Notes (Blood and Tears Experience) 1. Wear non-slip shoes! The rocks near the waterfall are slippery and it hurts a lot if you fall. 2. Sun protection and wind protection: The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, so wear a hat and sunglasses, don’t think it’s too rustic. 3. Avoid holidays: the waterfall turns into a "human waterfall". The best season to view Hukou Waterfall: From April to May (peach season) and September to November (autumn season), you can see the amazing sight of ice peaks hanging upside down! Winter nature can be seen In summary: the fun of Hukou Waterfall is all about the primitive shock of the "Yellow River's roar". Don't worry about the exquisite feeling. Bring good physical strength + a waterproof case for your phone, and just rush! (Appendix: Advice from Shanxi buddies: Don’t stand too close, the Yellow River water can really soak you)
