Background

The Hukou Waterfall , the only cataract on the Yellow River, is located in the bordering area between Jixian County of Shanxi Province and Yichuan County of Shannxi Province. At this point, the bed of the river abruptly turns narrow, forming a shape like a pot mouth (the Chinese for which is "hukou"), hence its name. The water falls over a precipice more than 30 metres deep, which is a spectacular scene. The Yellow River symbolizes the courage and perseverance of the Chinese nation. The Chinese people are advancing with enormous enthusiasm towards their bright future, just like the surging torrent of the Yellow River. The words "Advancing with the time with indomitable will" are printed in pure gold foil on the souvenir sheet.
