Recent heavy rainfall in the upper reaches of the Yellow River is affecting the Hukou Waterfall in Jixian county of Shanxi province. A large waterfall group landscape has formed that stretches more than 200 meters and provides a spectacular scene for tourists to feel the mighty force of nature.
The tremendous mass of water strikes the rocks, creating piles of foam, a shroud of mist and rainbows from the sun's rays, all of which attract visitors.
Located in the border area between Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the Hukou Waterfall is the second-largest waterfall in China and the largest one on the Yellow River.
