Nature put on a showstopping performance at China's Hukou Waterfall this New Year, with fresh snowfall transforming the Yellow River landmark into a winter wonderland. Over 50,000 visitors flocked to the border of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces during the three-day holiday, according to local reports.
❄️ Icicles glittered like chandeliers along the cliffs as rainbows danced in the mist above the roaring cascade – a rare winter phenomenon caused by sunlight refracting through ice particles. 'It felt like walking through a frozen fantasy novel,' said Malaysian traveler Li Wei, 24, who captured viral TikTok footage of the rainbow-lit falls.
🌏 The spectacle highlights growing interest in China's natural wonders among young international travelers. With direct flights now connecting major Asian cities to nearby Xi'an, tourism officials predict record visits to the region this winter.
