Hukou Waterfall

It is located at the intersection of the provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, 165 km (103 mi) to the west of Fenxi County, and 50 km (31 mi) to the east of Yichuan County where the middle reaches of the Yellow River flow through Jinxia Grand Canyon.

[citation needed] In the middle of the river, about 3,000 m (9,843 ft) from the Hukou Waterfall, an enormous rock catches the attention of visitors.

When the Yellow River flows to this point, divides into two, rolling and roaring on and on from both sides of the rock before reconverging.

In the sunshine, the mist is refracted by sunlight to create a rainbow spanning the water like a colorful bridge.

[1] At peak season, there are more than 40,000 tourists daily[2] An image of the Hukou Waterfall can be seen on the older fourth series of the renminbi 50 RMB banknote.
