As the flood season set in, a rare and eye-catching natural phenomenon has emerged in Shuifu city, southwest China’s Yunnan Province, where the Jinsha River meets the Hengjiang River.
At their confluence, the two rivers paint a vivid contrast. The Jinsha River flows with a serene, emerald-green hue, like a sheet of silk gliding smoothly through the landscape. In sharp contrast, the Hengjiang River surges forward with sediment-laden, muddy yellow waters.
The two currents run side by side, each maintaining its distinct color while slowly blending together, creating a natural "hot pot" effect reminiscent of the Chinese delicacy where two broths share one pot.
