Autumn's embrace brings about a unique spectacle, as countless rivers in China congregate into the mighty Yellow River. The flow transforms this ancient waterway into an awe-inspiring sight with its vast expanse, surging waves, and seemingly less waters that can even obscure what lies across to the distant cattle.
