Since the beginning of this month, the Hukou Waterfalls on the Yellow River has begun swelling with water pouring in as the frozen upstream in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region began to melt.

Rushing water has produced enough water vapor. Added to that is the bright sunshine and clear air in the early spring, all of which makes rainbow appear and stretch over the waterfalls.
