Spectacular Water Release at Xiaolangdi

Photo taken on June 16 shows the water discharge at the Xiaolangdi Reservoir during the 2026 Yellow River Xiaolangdi Waterfall Viewing Event. Since June 10, the Xiaolangdi and Xixiayuan reservoirs have been jointly releasing water at a rate of 2,400 cubic meters per second to regulate upstream inflow and reservoir storage. The powerful currents and steep drops create a spectacular scene of the mighty Yellow River surging forward with roaring waves. (Text: Henan Daily Photo: Miao Qiunao)
