When temperatures dip during cold snaps, Hukou Waterfall, the second largest waterfall in China, stops roaring, its water freezes and spectacular white terrains are formed along the riversides.

The waterfall is located at the intersection of north China's Shanxi Province and northwestern Shaanxi Province. It is the largest waterfall on the Yellow River. The photos were taken at Linfen City in the southwest of Shanxi Province.
