Tide-watching tour guide of Qiantang River: the first stop is to go to the tide-watching point in Liangjiadun Scenic Area, the second stop is to go to the tide-watching point in Dakou, and the third stop is the tide-watching city in Yanguan.

1. Tide observation point in Liangjiadun Scenic Area: Due to the formation of Zhongshayu in the center of the river channel, cross tides may be observed in Xincang area, but the position of cross tides may be shifted due to the influence of erosion and deposition changes in Zhongsha, and first-line tides, cross tides, secondary tides, reentry tides and foaming tides may be observed during flood season.

2. Tidal observation point with large gap: this section is the most dangerous area in the past years, with fast tidal bore, and the south tide and the east tide arrive successively, and the east tide is greater than the south tide, so the second tide can be seen during the spring tide, and it may overflow the ancient seawall top and flood control pavement at high water level, so special attention should be paid to the safety of tidal observation, and the second tide and the first tide may be seen during the flood season.

3. Yanguan Tide-watching City: Yanguan is a world-famous tidal-watching resort. Since ancient times, the wonder of the world, Haining Tide, has been fascinating with its unique grandeur. You can see the famous first-line tide of Qiantang River in this area. The best time to visit qiantang bore is from July to October in the lunar calendar. Su Shi has a famous sentence handed down by qiantang bore, August 18th Tide, which is spectacular all over the world.

Causes of tidal observation in Qiantang River

The tidal bore of Qiantang River is a natural wonder in the world, which is caused by the centrifugal effect of celestial gravity and the earth's rotation, and the special topography of the bell mouth of Qiantang River in Hangzhou Bay. First of all, it is related to the shape of Hangzhou Bay where Qiantang River enters the sea and its special topography. Hangzhou Bay is trumpet-shaped, with a big mouth and a small belly. The Qiantang River channel narrows and rises sharply from the west of Ganpu, resulting in a sudden decrease in the capacity of the riverbed, and a large number of tides are crowded into the narrow and shallow channel, and the tidal head is blocked.

The back tide is advancing rapidly, forcing the tidal head to stand steeply, breaking and roaring, and presenting breathtaking and spectacular scenes. However, there are many trumpet-shaped river estuaries, but only a few estuaries can form tidal bore, and qiantang bore can be honored to be included in this minority. Through research, scientists believe that the generation of tidal bore is also related to the ratio of the speed of water flow to the speed of tidal wave in the river. If the two speeds are the same or similar and evenly matched, it will be beneficial to the generation of tidal bore.
