The Hukou Water falls of the Yellow River is the only Yellow
Waterfall on earth. The river narrows and cascades dramatically into a stone pond more
than 30 metres below, creating the famous Hukou Waterfalls The gentle water turbulent and
gains speed as it rushed forward till it finally cascades over the waterfall, forming an
illusion of water being poured from a kettle, hence its name "Hukou or Kettle
spout" Like thousands of tumbling dragons or enraged animals that have just been set
free, the yellow waterplunged down, the pounding against the stones echoes like thunder.
The most dramatic changes occur during deep winter and early spring when the river surface
becomes frozen. Sometimes, the subsidiary falls freeze into icicles, creating images of
crouching beast on top of the cliffs.
