The Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River section running through Linfen City of north China's Shanxi Province has seasonally revealed a distinctive beauty, with a rainbow appearing over its unusually clear waters. The Hukou Waterfall is the largest waterfall on the Yellow River, China's second-longest river.
According to staff at the Hukou waterfall scenic spot, reduced water flow and sediment levels in winter have turned the waters of the powerful waterfall from yellow sandy to clear. Meanwhile, frequent clear, sunny days in winter also greatly increase the likelihood of rainbows.
Bathed in sunlight, the brilliant rainbow arches across the clear, cascading water, creating picturesque scenes that have attracted visitors eager to take in the majestic winter beauty.

The China International Intelligent Communication Forum 2026 was held in Wuxi City, east China's Jiangsu Province on Monday, under the theme of "New Ecosystem, New Opportunities, New Future".
Co-hosted by China Media Group (CMG) and the Jiangsu provincial government, the forum brought together political figures, experts, scholars and media professionals to discuss topics including intelligent communication, media transformation, sci-tech innovation, industrial development, mutual learning among civilizations and international cooperation.
"I think the idea of combining media with science and communication is a really good idea. And I found the meeting very interesting. I learned things. I think communication is essential. Communication gives us cultural intelligence, and gives us the ability to learn from other people," said Michael Levitt, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences released the China Cities' International Intelligent Communication Capacity Development Report 2026 at the opening ceremony, which also launched the Wuxi Initiative of the China International Intelligent Communication Forum.
This year's forum built a platform for exchanges and cooperation among enterprises in fields such as artificial intelligence and digital film and television, and promoted the alignment of industry resources.
"For our park, in the process of extending and strengthening the industrial chain, the forum has brought us many good enterprises across the entire production chain," said Yao Jingfei, head of the Wuxi National Digital Film Industrial Park.
