At the Qinjin Grand Canyon at the border between Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River has been transformed into a breathtaking winter wonderland, with large sheets of floating ice drifting downstream under the influence of strong fronts of cold air.

Seen from above, the roaring Yellow River, mixed with clusters of ice, cascades over the falls, sending plumes of mist into the air. As the water crashes onto the rocky banks and railings, it instantly freezes into unique, shimmering icicles, creating an unforgettable winter spectacle.
