Earlier this week, visitors flocked to Hukou Waterfall along the Yellow River, straddling Jixian County in Shanxi Province and Yichuan County in Shaanxi Province, to kick off 2026 with a magical winter show.
Fresh blankets of snow transformed the cliffs and railings into a glittering wonderland of crystal-clear icicles ❄️. As warm sunshine lit up the scene, a vibrant rainbow arched over the roaring waters 🌈, creating an unforgettable backdrop for New Year selfies and snowy strolls.
During the three-day New Year break, this icy spectacle drew crowds eager to celebrate 2026 in style. If you missed it, add Hukou's winter charm to your travel list—you might just catch nature's next masterpiece! 😉
