Most larger waterfall around the world are known for one thing, and that can be the sight of rainbow accros these falls. Rainbow appears once in a while in places we live, it may be twice or once a year. But on these waterfalls, visitors always encounter rainbows while visiting the scene of thess waterfalls.
The presence of rainbow on these waterfalls is because, the sun rays moving towards the direction of the water is split into its various component colors by refraction and reflection in the water droplets, and bounces back toward your eye. It's the same effect whether the droplets come from rain, or from waterfall spray.
Most waterfalls generates a single rainbow which is seen as beauty of nature, but the case of the Hukou Waterfall was totally different as visitors were given a total new experience. A group of visitors were lucky enough to encounter a double rainbow appearing over Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River in Linfen City, Shanxi Province. As China's second largest waterfall, Hukou Waterfall is situated on a section of the river where it narrows like the mouth of a kettle, and the water cascades down more than 20 meters as if being poured from a huge teapot.
The Hukou Waterfall is one of the biggest tourism center in China, and thousands of Tourist has been seen visiting the sight every year.
