Yan’an sits on the loess plateau of northern Shaanxi, with revolutionary sites such as Yangjialing and Zaoyuan close to town; to the south, the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in Huangling County honours the legendary ancestor of the Chinese people.
Hukou Waterfall in Yichuan County is the largest waterfall on the Yellow River and most dramatic in high-water season. Northern Shaanxi routes usually start in Xi’an and take about five days.
