Hukou Waterfall-- the world’s largest yellow waterfall

Central China’s Hukou waterfall is famous for its unique yellow colour.

The waterfall gets its name from ‘kettle spout’ as the water gushes out from the mountains and falls into a deep pit, sending waves of smoke up in the air.

Tourists pour in thousands to watch the spectacular view of the world’s largest yellow waterfall. Giant icicles form on the embankments allowing rainbow to step forth occasionally.

The waterfall is 30 meters wide but stretches to 50 meters wide when the flooding is high.

The color of the smoke changes as it rises higher up in the air from yellow to gray and then to blue.

The Hukou Waterfall is the largest waterfall on the Yellow River, China, the second largest waterfall in China. It is the world's largest yellow waterfall.

The water's velocity increases, and then plunges over a narrow opening on a cliff, forming a waterfall 15 m (49 ft) high and 20 m (66 ft) wide, as if water were pouring down from a huge teapot. Hence it gets the name Hukou (literally, "flask mouth") Waterfall.
