What you'll see and do

  1. China Xian Tour

    Our driver will pick you up from your Xian downtown hotel lobby at some 7:00 am, and drive to the destination, along which you will see the Loess Plateau, a kind of special landscapes of North Shaanxi Province. After 3-4 hrs of driving, you will arrive at Hukou Waterfall to see Yellow River's marvelous scenery. It is the 2nd largest waterfall in China, and is next only to the Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou Province.

    4 minutes here · Admission included

  2. Hukou Waterfall

    The Yellow River bed here suddenly shrinks from some 300 meters to around 50 meters, girdling the pools of the Yellow River water into a narrow gorge and rushing abruptly down from some 30 meters high into the gorge below, while the torrential water runs along a water-channel of some five kilometers long to the lower reaches. As the water-channel looks much like the mouth of a pot, hence the derivation of the name "Hukou" means "mouth of a pot" in Chinese. After the tour you will be back to your Xian downtown hotel around 9 pm. Please prepare some food because it is not easy to find a good restaurant in Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area.

    120 minutes here · Admission included

  3. Drum Tower Square

    After the sight seeing, we will drive back to your hotel.

I am sure it must be wonderful...

I rate 4 stars only because I am sure it must be a wonderful experience. Unfortunately with young children 4 hour drive a whole day trip not really advisable especially in summer... so I cancelled the trip. Ms. Cherry from the tour company was most helpful and understanding and she along with my wife worked out a local city tour visiting the wall and some other attractions such as Bell Tower and Muslim Street (btw Muslim Street should be called Food Street in my opinion). Anyway it all turned out to be quite enjoyable in the company of Noble, our English speaking guide.

Private Day Tour: Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Tour From Xian: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.

How much does Private Day Tour: Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Tour From Xian cost?

+

Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Xian usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Private Day Tour: Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Tour From Xian take?

+

Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Xian is not rushed.

Is Private Day Tour: Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Tour From Xian worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Xian, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Tour: Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Tour From Xian?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Private Day Tour: Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Tour From Xian suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour: Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Tour From Xian?

+

Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Xian can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Xian and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Day Tour: Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Tour From Xian start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Xian within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Xian?

+

On Outty we rank every Xian experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Xi'an Day Tour: Terracotta Army&Optional City Attractions, All-Inclusive Terracotta Army Tour with Premium Buffet Lunch, 2-Day Customized Warriors Tours & Xian Top Attractions. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Xian?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Xian?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
