👭Girls, Hukou Waterfall in Shaanxi is absolutely breathtaking! The roaring Yellow River cascading down makes you truly appreciate nature's masterpiece~ 🚗Self-drive: Navigate to "Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area Visitor Center" in Shaanxi 📸Itinerary 👉Morning: Head straight to the main waterfall viewing platform! The morning light is perfect, casting golden rays on the surging Yellow River. If you're lucky, you might even spot a rainbow arching over the falls—super photogenic🌈 Stand at the corner of the viewing platform railing with the waterfall panorama and Yellow River canyon as your backdrop for magazine-worthy shots. 👉Noon: After exploring, grab lunch at nearby restaurants.
