黄河壶口瀑布（山西侧）
Hukou Waterfall, Shanxi Side
At Hukou the broad Yellow River is compressed into a narrow rocky channel, producing a powerful fall, spray and seasonal ice. Water colour, volume and accessible platforms change continuously; it is both a geomorphic event and Yellow River symbol that must be viewed from managed platforms.

Getting there
Use the Shanxi official entrance with confirmed transport; the opposite-bank entrance is a different jurisdiction and route.
Practical notes
Check same-day river alerts, protect cameras from spray and never follow unofficial paths onto wet, icy or undercut rock.
