Looking at the railing, the hanging pot is boiling, and the angry waves are rolling ashore. The planned area of Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area is 100 square kilometers, which is composed of the main surface landforms such as the Yellow River Gorge, waterfall, Loess Plateau, and ancient Yuan village.

The reporter learned that during the Qingming holiday, the Yellow River Hukou Waterfall entered the best viewing period in spring, and the rolling Yellow River water rushed and roared, pouring down, and the momentum was magnificent. Viewed from the air, the main waterfall is choppy and turbulent, like 10,000 horses galloping, overwhelming the mountains and the sea, stirring up clouds of white water mist and smoke, forming magnificent wonders such as "clear sky sprinkling rain, smoke at the bottom of the pot, neon water playing", attracting many tourists to come to see.
