For the coming Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and the National Day holiday, which will begin at the end of this month, the Hukou Waterfall in Jixian county, Shanxi province, is a prime choice for tourists to enjoy a magnificent landscape and the mighty force of the Yellow River, the mother river of China.

Located in the border area between Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the Hukou Waterfall is the largest of its kind along the river.

As the river's width suddenly drops from more than 200 meters to about 30 meters, the main channel can rush as fast as 300 cubic meters per second. The tremendous mass of water strikes the rocks, generating mountains of foam, a shroud of mist and a thundering roar that can be heard miles away.
