Nature delivered a jaw-dropping spectacle this week as twin rainbows arched over Hukou Waterfall – China’s roaring 'kettle spout' landmark on the Yellow River. 🌊 Visitors in Linfen City, Shanxi Province, captured the rare double rainbow phenomenon during golden hour, turning the thunderous waterfall into an Instagram-ready masterpiece.
Known as China’s second-largest waterfall, Hukou transforms where the Yellow River narrows like a teapot’s mouth, plunging 20 meters with the force of a celestial kettle. Local guides say spotting even a single rainbow here is lucky – but two? That’s like hitting nature’s jackpot! 💰
\"It felt doubly blessed,\" said one visitor, referencing the Chinese cultural symbolism of double happiness. 🌟 The vibrant arcs quickly trended on Weibo, with netizens dubbing it \"Niagara Falls’ colorful cousin.\"
Pro tip for travelers: Visit during late summer for peak water flow and rainbow potential. Just don’t forget your waterproof phone case! 📸
