General presentation
Hukou et fleuve Jaune
The Yellow River is sharply tightened in a canyon on the border of Shaanxi and Shanxi.
Hukou Cascade, Jin-Shaan Canyon and Yichuan Village give the most telling landmarks of Hukou and Yellow River. Together, they form a destination where riverscapes, mountain reliefs and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Waterfall
Cascade de Hukou
The entire river dives into a narrow channel between yellow cliffs. The season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; it is also necessary to respect the fragile banks and any local restrictions.
Nature and panorama
Canyon de Jin-Shaan
The canyon separates the Loess plateaus from the Shaanxi and Shanxi. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked prior to departure; water, warm clothing and time limits remain useful, even in summer.
Village
Village de Yichuan
The village serves as a rural base for visits to the west bank of Hukou. An early-in-the-day visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
