On October 9, 2024, a spectacular natural phenomenon was captured over Qinghai Lake in Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, located in northwestern China's Qinghai Province.

In the video, a thick layer of clouds hung in the sky while a massive column of water shot straight from the lake's surface toward the clouds. This rare event, known as a waterspout, resembled a giant dragon playing in the water, as if connecting the lake to the sky.

Waterspouts are a form of tornado over water, featuring a rapidly rotating funnel of wind with intense low pressure. The breathtaking scene left Chinese onlookers in awe of the power and beauty of nature.
