Why So Many People Go to Yellow River Falls in Linfen, Shanxi?
Watching the world at home, focusing on: Street lamp photography, sharing beautiful scenery from travels every day. When talking about China's magnificent landscapes, the Yellow River at the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces is always mentioned, especially after this year's 'Peach Blossom Flood', the Yellow River Falls is in a spectacular moment. So many people yearn for the Yellow River Falls? In my opinion, it's because the Yellow River Falls is the Yellow River's most majestic expression in the Central Plains.
The Yellow River Falls is a national scenic and tourist area, a national 4A-level tourist attraction. It is located west of Shaanxi Province's Yinan City's Huhitou Township and east of Shanxi Province's Huhitou Town, a jointly administered tourist area for both provinces. The Yellow River here, with two banks of steep cliffs, narrows to a bottleneck like a kettle, hence the name Yellow River Falls. 1,000 cubic meters per second of river water plunges down from a cliff of 20 meters or so, forming 'One Kettle of Yellow River' spirit.
I participated in the first China's National Three-River Source National Park Self-Driving Tour route 'Yellow River Roots and Source Journey' in Qyzylagh, where the third station was the Yellow River Falls. There, I was so shocked by the momentum of the waterfall, and I understood why it's so appealing.
1, Grand momentum. As soon as we arrived at the Huhitou Yellow River Falls scenic area entrance, a group of the last generation of Yellow River helmsmen, who were holding white sheepskin bags and wearing white headscarves, smiled and greeted us. Their warm and pure smiles made us feel boundless sunshine and warmth. Under the guidance of the Yellow River helmsmen, we first saw the true appearance of the 'Yellow River Falls', and we were immediately shocked by her momentum: The Yellow River here is seized by two banks of steep mountains, bound in a narrow gorge, 300 meters wide, suddenly drops 50 meters, and churns and pours down in a drop of 20 meters or so high, mountain echoing valley, finally from a 20-meter-high fault cliff rushes down, 'A Kettle of All Weather Conditions'2. The Yellow River Falls is the birthplace of 'Yellow River Big Chorus'. 'Yellow River Big Chorus' is the strongest sound of the Chinese nation. In the five thousand years of China's Xia civilization development, the Yellow River Falls' rushing and surging momentum has penetrated into the spirit of the Chinese nation.When shooting at the Yellow River Falls, pay attention to protect the camera, due to the large amount of sediment, the spray from the water is full of dust, a layer of mud will cover the camera and clothes in a short time.
The old helmsmen scooped up Yellow River water for us in clay pots. They have a deep love for the Yellow River and used to make a living by pulling barges. Now they live happily through tourism. This is the charm of the Yellow River Falls. Focus: Street lamp photography, let's watch the world together.
