Hukou Waterfall is the only yellow waterfall in the world and a national scenic spot. It is located in the riverbed of the Yellow River in Qin Jin Grand Canyon. When the Yellow River roared all the way to Qin Jin Canyon, the width of the river suddenly shrank from more than 400 meters to 50 meters, and it poured into a stone trough with a drop of 30 meters. Because it looks like a teapot, it was named Hukou Waterfall. It is known as the "national spirit", "the soul of the Yellow River" and the spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation's courage.

√ River Waterfall Canyon: In the upper and lower reaches of Hukou Waterfall, the peaks on both sides face each other, and the Yellow River water rushes and growls in the canyon, showing the grandeur and magnificence of nature. The scenery of the canyon varies with the seasons. In spring and autumn, the vegetation on both sides is colorful and beautiful against the yellow river.
√ Shililong Trough: At the bottom of a box canyon about 5 kilometers from Hukou to Mengmen, there is a deep trough 10-20 meters deep and 30-50 meters wide. After the rushing Yellow River water poured from the hukou, it began to rush in the trough at a flow rate of several thousand cubic meters per second, which was magnificent.
√ Mengmen Mountain: located 5 kilometers downstream of Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, below Shililong Trough. In the riverbed at the bottom of the Yellow River, there are two spindle-shaped boulders, which the ancients called "the foot of nine rivers". At this point, the river is divided into two roads, which flow from both sides and then merge into one.
√ Yu Palace: A palace built to commemorate Dayu's flood control, with profound historical and cultural heritage. Cultural relics and historical materials related to Dayu's water control are displayed here, so that visitors can understand the hardships and wisdom of ancient water control and feel the inheritance of Dayu's spirit.
