We got to the waterfall scenic park early by tour bus arriving at 0930 there were no large queues at that time also it was Wednesday so quieter than a weekend. We parted from our tour guide and met up with him for the return trip. This allowed us to see what we wanted to see and at our pace. We got around no problem with the help of our chinese friend. There are buses to Grand Water Fall and the smaller falls. We choose to pay the 50 yuan for the escalator rather that use the stairs about £2.50 each way. Better than aching legs. An umbrella is a must as even in April it was very hot. Plenty of toilets and water stations. We all carry hand sanitisers. The scenic area are amazing plenty of traders selling tourist goods and a large variety of food. A good day out leaving a 1800 hours. 10 photos of 250 taken by me alone. First waterfall is the Grand Water fall Second a wider but smaller Waterfall.

The Hukou Waterfall is the second largest waterfall in China and the largest on the legendary Yellow River. As a result it is often claimed that this is "the only yellow waterfall in the world." It is right on the border between Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. The 300-meter wide Yellow River suddenly narrows and is forced violently through a 20-meter-wide gorge before falling turbently as a waterfall. As with the other applications I've submitted, I'd be happy to provide a major write up should you wish to give this a listing. On another note, I would suggest you consider reorganizing the categories of your listings for Shanxi. Listing them completely by counties doesn't really make sense. I'd be happy to make an alternative suggestion if you'd like. (Heather Pickerell, alias ShanxiFan)
It took over 5 hours from Xian to Hukou waterfall by coach bus. There were so many people there and you can have a very nice and close view of the waterfall, which is really impressive. From where you stand to look at the waterfall, you can see people from Shanxi province on the other side of the Yellow River.
