Introduction

Hukou Waterfall is a shining pearl embedded on the meandering Yellow River. The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation and the only golden waterfall in the world. "It originates from the Kunlun Mountains and the Jade Gate collects it in a pot with nine turns." The Yellow River flows through the Yellow Plateau and enters the Qin-Jin Gorge. The riverbed suddenly shrinks to about 40-50 meters, like a giant pot pouring soup, hence the name. At 5 pm every day, the 45-minute performance "Yellow River Chorus" starts on time at the Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area in Shaanxi. It is divided into 4 chapters, where visitors can experience local folk culture and the spirit of the anti-Japanese revolution and red culture. Gudu Town was once prosperous during the Ming and Qing dynasties and was a distribution center for boat commerce on the Hukou River, along with Dongxi Longwangtan, known as "Sangjindu," which is famous with Fenglingdu downstream. Nowadays, visitors can watch the unique cave-dwelling buildings on the Loess Plateau, taste local specialties, and experience the rich cultural atmosphere of ancient history at Gudu Town.
