Hukou Waterfall 壶口瀑布 Travel Guide

Hukou Waterfall Overview

Hukou Waterfall is the second largest in China and, the Chinese say, the only yellow waterfall in the world. It is situated in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, named so because of the vast amount of silt it carries as it carves its way through the Loess Plateau. The Yellow river is also considered the cradle of Chinese civilisation.
