The first waterfall of the Wanli Yellow River is located at Hukou Waterfall at the junction of Shaanxi and Shanxi. In the winter, it is a low season for tourism, but if you want to see the wonders of the Hukou Icefall, you can only come in the winter. This section of the Yellow River is the dividing line between Shaanxi and Shanxi. There is a Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area on both sides of the Yellow River. There are direct buses from Xi'an to the Hukou. It takes more than 5 hours on the road to go directly to the scenic spot. The Yellow River reached the Hukou section, and the river suddenly narrowed. It changed from a river of more than 400 meters to 30-50 meters, forming the second largest waterfall in China. The Hukou Waterfall has different scenery all year round and is suitable for sightseeing. The water is abundant in summer, the river is yellow, mixed with a lot of sediment, and the momentum is magnificent. In the winter, the water mist on the river is frozen and condensed together to form an ice, which is a rare spectacle. This section of the Yellow River is also the dividing line of many countries in history. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Wei Dynasty split into the East Wei and Western Wei with the Yellow River as the boundary. The Hukou area is the main battlefield. During the anti-Japanese war in 1938, the famous poet wrote the immortal poem "Yellow River" here. Returning to Yan'an, Xing Xinghai made a score for this poem, and the outstanding "Yellow River Chorus" was born. The mouth of the winter, the temperature is usually below zero, the shore is rugged, covered with a thin layer of ice, and you must be very careful when walking.
