Nature just dropped a jaw-dropping filter! A rare rainbow halo lit up the sky above China’s roaring Hukou Waterfall this week, turning the already iconic Yellow River landmark into a viral-worthy spectacle. Visitors and photographers scrambled to capture the optical marvel, which appeared like a glowing ring around the sun as mist from the waterfall refracted sunlight.
Located on the border of Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces, the Hukou Waterfall—known for its thunderous cascades and golden-hued waters—rarely hosts this phenomenon. Experts say the perfect mix of sunlight angle, water spray, and atmospheric conditions created the fleeting 🌈 ‘halo effect,’ sparking awe across social media. One visitor joked, ‘It’s like the waterfall unlocked a secret level!’
