Due to the recent early winter sunny weather, tourists got the chance to enjoy a double rainbow at the Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area in Jixian county, Shanxi province.

The splashes and mists created by the surging water, illuminated by the sunlight, have formed a unique scene for tourists who visit this famous attraction known for its yellow water and thunderous sound.

Located on the border of North China's Shanxi and Northwest China's Shaanxi provinces, the Hukou Waterfall is the second-largest waterfall in China and the largest one on the Yellow River.
