As a result of recent heavy rainfall in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, Hukou Waterfall in Jixian county, Shanxi province, is providing a spectacular scene for tourists.

Located in the border area between Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the Hukou Waterfall is the second-largest in China and the largest on the Yellow River. The tremendous mass of water strikes the rocks, creating piles of foam, a shroud of mist and thundering roar that can be heard miles away.
