The best viewing guide for Hukou Waterfall

It’s time to enjoy Hukou Waterfall again. ✅Best viewing angle: Shaanxi side: From the frontal perspective, the panoramic view of the waterfall is more spectacular, and you can appreciate the amazing sight of "smoke coming out of the bottom of the water" from a close distance. West side of the mountain: You can go down to the "Dragon Cave" to look up at the waterfall (subject to opening conditions) and feel the shock of "the water of the Yellow River flowing over your head". ✅Best viewing time 💐Season: Flood season (June-August): The water volume is the largest, the width of the waterfall exceeds 100 meters, and the momentum is the most majestic. Autumn (September-October): The water volume is moderate and the water quality is relatively clear, which is suitable for photography. Winter (December-February): The wonder of icefalls, with ice piled up on the river like a "jade pot", but some areas may be closed. ⏰Time period: Early morning (7:00-9:00) or evening (16:00-18:00), the light is soft and it is easy to see the rainbow. ✅ Transportation to scenic spots Shaanxi side: You need to take a sightseeing bus in the scenic area (30 yuan round trip). West side of the mountain: It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the waterfall viewing area. There is an additional fee for the "Dragon Cave" (20 yuan). ✅Classic shooting location "Waterfall Viewing Platform" on the Shaanxi side: take panoramic photos of the waterfall and the rainbow. “Dragon Cave” on the west side of the mountain: take photos of the rushing waterfall from above (waterproof equipment required). ✅Recommendations for nearby tours 💖Shaanxi side: Yan'an red attractions: Pagoda Hill, Zaoyuan Revolutionary Site (about 1.5 hours drive). Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor (about 2 hours’ drive, symbolizing the spirit of Chinese civilization). 💖West side of the mountain: Hongtong Big Sophora Tree (root-seeking and ancestor-worshiping garden, about 2 hours’ drive away). Pingyao Ancient City/Wang Family Courtyard (suitable for multi-day tours). --- 🙋‍♀️Please contact customer service if you need to travel
