Itinerary
Your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel at the appointed time confirmed with you one day before. Drive out of the city for around 2 hours to reach the first stop today, the Huangdi Mausoleum, which is the most important ancient grave site in China. Huangdi, the initiator of Chinese civilization, was a great tribal leader in the final primitive society of ancient times. The Huangdi Mausoleum is the tomb of Huangdi. Since 422BC, the Mausoleum has been the place where emperors and celebrities worshipped Huangdi.
Then continue to Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area. Lunch is arranged on your own. The distance from the entrance to the waterfall is about 8 kilometers (5 miles). You will take a shuttle bus to get to the waterfall and spend about 2 hours to explore the scenic area. Here, you can see the majestic waterfall, surging Yellow River and vast spray of water mist formed by the waterfall falling from the riverbed to the deep hole. The primitive beauty of Yellow River will leave a deep impression on you. If weather permits, you may also be able to see the rainbow over the waterfall. After the trip, a private transfer will take you back to your hotel in Xi’an. The return trip takes around 4 hours. You are advised to have a quick simple dinner before driving.

I went on a solo trip to Hukou Waterfalls and the Huangdi Mausoleum – quite a distance for a 4-hour road trip from Xian. Having already visited the other common tourist sites in Xian, I thought I should see China’s second largest waterfall and the largest yellow waterfall in the world. There were not many foreign tourists around, and one should not expect it to be as spectacular as the Niagara Walls or the Victoria Falls. But I need to commend my able and caring guide, my namesake Roger Yan. He is not only knowledgeable but extremely caring, taking good care of me as if I were his father throughout the trip. He also assisted me as we climbed up the steps to the Huangdi Mausoleum. All in all, I am happy to have made this trip and am glad that Roger was my guide.

My husband and I booked a full day tour in Xian to see the Terra-cotta Warriors and Muslim Street with Travel China. We were lucky to have an excellent guide in Jacky. He has a background in teaching with good English and an excellent knowledge of culture and history. Jacky and the driver picked us up at our hotel and we were dropped off at the end of the day. It was a great way to get the most out of the sites. I definitely recommend both Jacky and Travel China.
