Hukou Waterfall - a place you never forget!
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)

Hukou Waterfall - a place you never forget!
If you are in Xian, do remember to book the local tour to Hukou Waterfall - 2D1N for RMB480, including 1 night accommodation at the hotel near Yellow River. If including 4 meals, 2 lunches, 1 dinner n 1 breakfast will be RMB 560 pay at the hotel tour counter. But, if you pay the meals price in the tour bus later, will be RMB 100. Lunch and dinner were okay, better than we expected. Breakfast was terrible. The round trip journey roughly 1100 km, quite tiring but there were stop over at some tourist sites. This waterfall is the most spectacular and amazing! A place you will never forget. We were there on 9 Nov afternoon till evening. Very cold but the turbulent waves and the surge of yellow river when reaching the 'bottle neck' will make you crazy! Really, don't ever miss this place when you are in Xian.

Impressive Hukou Waterfall
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.
