So amazing, I can’t think of anything more beautiful. I found some great tours for China here that I’m considering booking. But, still have to spend some time planning, I do not have much time on vacation so when I do I like to make this one really special and unforgettable.

I have been to both Hukou and the Huangguoshu Waterfalls in China. Although the Huangguoshu Falls are beautiful indeed, there is no way to compare it to the Hukou Falls which are much more powerful and impressive.The Hukou Falls are breathtaking and unbelievable and are made up of thousands of falls and some huge falls with huge noises.The sight attracts many tourists daily including locals and you will see many animals on the paths. The best time to visit the Hukou Falls is when the river is high.
