Niu Ge lives in Hangzhou. 20 1 1 In the past seven years, the number of tourists in Hangzhou has reached as many as1110,000, many of which are directed at the Qianjiang spring tide.
Then why is the Qianjiang spring tide so attractive?
Since ancient times, the biggest and most spectacular tide in China is Qiantang River tide. The highest tidal head can reach about 8 meters, and the advancing speed of tidal head can reach nearly 10 meter per second. Its spectacular scene is surging and magnificent, just like quick march with thousands of troops and thunderous sounds, which is really a wonder of the world.
The tidal bore of Qiantang River is one of the three largest tidal bore in the world. Due to the special geographical location of Qiantang River, the seawater inlet is restricted by the topography on both sides of the river, and the seawater is accumulating higher and higher. When the seawater in the back keeps pouring in, it forms a spectacular scene that the waves in the back catch up with the waves in front and the waves overlap.
In fact, there are two tides in Qiantang River every day. The so-called tide? That is, the fluctuation of seawater during the day is called tide, and the fluctuation at night is called sunseeker, so the fluctuation of seawater is also called tide. It's just that the tide has a size every day, and the first month of each month is bigger. The tidal observation on August 18 every year is world-famous, and it has become a tourist card for Haiyan, Haining and Hangzhou in Zhejiang.
By the way, Niu Ge also wrote a little tide-watching strategy ~
Tide-watching location:
You can see Qian Jiangchao along Qiantang River.
Recommend several best viewing spots: Yan Guan, Xiaoshan Guanchao City, Xiasha Bridge, Qibao, Sanbao, City Balcony, Nanxing Bridge, Zhakou, Jiuxi and Wenjiayan.
Tide watching time:
In addition to the most famous August 18 in Qian Jiangchao, there are tides in Qian Jiangchao every day, with an interval of about 12 hour. The days before and after the 18th lunar month are the biggest in a month, and the tides on typhoon days are particularly large.
Precautions:
The tide is ruthless, so you must pay attention to safety when watching it. Even though there are various warning signs on the Qiantang River levee, there are still many people who approach the tide regardless of the danger, resulting in people being swept away by the tide and dying every year.
How to know the tide schedule can be viewed:
Hangzhou hydrological information network. It is suggested to arrive earlier, one is to find a high and good position, and the other is generally half an hour earlier than the predicted tidal bore time.
