The Hukou Falls of the Yellow River are found between Jixian county in Shanxi province, and Yichuan county in Shaanxi province, 25 kilometers from the Jixian county seat. The falls have mountains on both sides and the Yellow River gushing from a gigantic ditch, 30 meters wide and 50 meters deep, among the rocks. The roaring river flows at great speed, like horses in stampede intruding, with tumbling waves at the bottom. The river can be heard miles away. Because of the bubbling water, the site is called Hukou, or Mouth of [the giant] Pot. In recent years, there are more and more tourists to Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River. In order to increase tourism projects, local people develop floating service on the Yellow River. These are three speedboats for water rescue.
