Eight views of Hukou

Thundering in Sunning day

The Yellow River travels through the valley, and the turbulent waves are like thousands of horses, galloping and roaring, shaking the valley. When the waterfall rushes and the water repeatedly hits the rocks and the water surface, it produces a huge sound, which reverberates in the valley for a long time, just like ten thousand drums sound in unison, thunder in a dry day, the sound can be transmitted dozens of miles away. Only in the vicinity of the Hukou Waterfall can truly feel the surging sound of "The Yellow River is roaring".

Ten-Li Dragon Trough

It is about 5 kilometers from the Hukou to Mengmen. At the bottom of this 400-meter-wide box-shaped canyon, the Yellow River flows down to form a 30-50 meters wide and 10-20 meters deep trough. After the Yellow River rushed down from the mouth of the pot, it returned to this trough with a huge flow of thousands of cubic meters per second. Legend has it that it was pierced by a dragon, so it was named "Ten-Li Dragon Trough ". It was formed by the continuous extension of the deep groove under the waterfall. This deep groove is becameriverbank in the non-flood period. This riverbank which is relatively wide and flat is entirely composed of hard sandstone. Near the water, there is almost no sand and gravel, and can be driving above, the "Sailing on Dry Land" is just taking advantage of the geological conditions of the "ten Li dragon trough".

Ice peak upside down

In the mid-winter, the river is frozen, and icicles which are like icy peaks of different sizes hang upside down cliffson both sides. Sometimes,Rainbows appear in the sky.The colorful rainbows and crystal iceswhich are set against each other, make tourists all sigh the magic of good fortune. The local folk song "Xiaoxue Liuling, Daxue Heqiao" talking about the unique scenery of the Hukou Waterfall in winter.

Raining in Sunny day

The mist formed by the waterfall floats into the air. Although the sun is scorching near the waterfall, the water mist is like drizzle which dampen clothes. This is another interesting landscape created by “Mist from Water Bottom”. Generally, the the mist become denser when people closethe river. Therefore, when there is smoke from the bottom of the waterfall.It is inevitable that the clothes will be weton the bank, like a drizzle under a clear sky or shower visitors with the rain.

Mountain Fly Sea State

“Mountain Fly Sea State” is description of the majestic momentum of the Hukou Waterfall. The Yellow River passes through long gorge, and the torrential torrent is approaching the Hukou. Suddenly the beam returns to the trough, forming a very spectacular waterfall. Looking up at the water curtain, the yellow water is rolling from The sky is pouring down, like all over the world are falling, that forms another core landscape of the Hukou Waterfall.

Rainbow Playing Water

The Hukou Waterfall repeatedly hits the river course, and the formed water mist rises into the air.Sunlightis refracted by water mist to form a rainbow. Sometimes the rainbow is inserted into the water from the sky in an arc shape, like a long dragon absorbing water; sometimes it is a straight ribbon that crosses the water, like a bridge flying over the water, and sometimes there are clusters of flowers in the spray which is colorful, erratic, complicated and fuzzy. “Rainbow Playing Water “is the product of "mist from waterbottom" and sunlight. In spring and autumn, the bottom of the water is smoked and dense fog hangs high. Whenever it is sunny, the sun is slanting, often forming a rainbow; it is sunny after rain in summer, and sometimes it will appear,that came to be known as“Rainbow Playing Water”.

Sailing on Dry Land

The location of Hukou is the ancient farmer’s market. In the past, the boats that descended from the upper reaches of Hukou had to go to 3 kilometers upstream of Hukou because of the large drop of Hukou waterfall and the long and deep grooves under the waterfall. All the goods were transported along the bank to the wharf downstream by means of human load and animal load; at the same time, the empty boat was pulled out of the water by manpower, and round wooden bars were laid under the boat to support the empty boat. Roll forward on the bank of the river, to a place where the water flow was slower downstream of Hukou, then put the boat into the water, load the cargo, and continue to descend. Human tugboats on the shore are very laborious and often require hundreds of people to pull the fibers. Although there are circular wooden bars rolling under the boat, the stone riverbank is still scarred by the nails on the bottom of the boat. Under the conditions at that time, "Sailing on Dry Land" may be the best choice for water transportation to cross the HukouWaterfall. It is compatible with the relatively gentle rocky banks of the Hukou Waterfall. Due to the rapid extension of roads and railways, and the Yellow River Bridge was constructed, the navigation through the Hukou has been suspended for many years, and only the traces of the sailing on dry land.

Mist from Water Bottom

When the Yellow River enters the "hukou", the turbulence is rushing down, and the agitated water mist rises into the air, just like the billowing smoke from the bottom of the water, which can be seen dozens of miles away. The size of the fog at the mouth of the pot is related to the season and flow. In winter, the river surface is frozen, waterfalls are mostly frozen, and the surface water is reduced. The flow at the mouth of the pot drops to 150-500 cubic meters per second. ; In summer, the flow increases greatly, the water flows out of the river, the drop is very small, and it is not easy to form a dense water mist that rises to the high altitude; in spring and autumn, the flow is moderate, the temperature is not high, the fall of the waterfall is more than 20 meters, the jet stream splashes, and the formation is filled in the air The ancient poem: "Collect water from thousands of rivers and release clouds for a long time" refers to this beautiful beauty through the ages.
