Where is the spring tide of Qiantang River
Qiantang River tide
The crossing tide is 55 kilometers away from Hangzhou Bay. There is a place called big gap, which is the best place to watch the crossing tide. Due to the long-term sediment deposition, a sandbank was formed in the river, which divided the tidal wave from Hangzhou Bay into two streams, namely the East tide and the South tide. After the two tides bypassed the sandbank, they crossed and hugged each other, presenting a spectacular scene of "thunder gathering on the sea and waterfalls crossing the river". A line of tide is a misty river. A white line appears on the surface of the river. It moves westward rapidly, just like a rainbow rising from the plain sand. The tide of turning back is the tide upstream from the salt officer, which will arrive at the old salt storehouse, the next tidal spot.
The best time to watch the tide is from August 15 to August 18 of the lunar calendar.
Qiantang tide refers to the periodic fluctuation of the sea surface due to the tidal force of the moon and the sun. Qiantang River spring tide is a natural wonder in the world. It is caused by the centrifugal effect of celestial gravity and earth rotation, and the special topography of Hangzhou Bay bell mouth.
Every year on August 18 of the lunar calendar, Qianjiang tidal bore is the largest. When the tide comes, the sound is like thunder, which is spectacular. The 18 tides in August are spectacular. This is a famous poem of the Northern Song Dynasty by Su Dongpo in praise of Qiantang autumn tide. Pan Lang, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote in a poem: "in the long memory of watching the tide, people from all over the country vie to see the river. To doubt the sea as empty as possible, thousands of drums. The tide maker stood up to the waves, holding the red flag in his hand. Don't look into your dreams. You feel cold in your dreams. This poem is a true portrayal of the activities of "tide making" and "tide watching". Zhou Mi, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote: "the tide of Zhejiang is a great sight in the world. The peak was on the 18th. When Fang Qiyuan comes out of Haimen, he is just like a silver line. As soon as he approaches, he will come from the snow ridge of Yucheng. He is as loud as thunder, shaking and shooting, swallowing the sky and the sky. Wu ershan swims hundreds of people, all wearing tattoos and holding ten big colored flags. He strives to be the first to summon up courage, to march forward, to appear and disappear in the whale waves, to change his body, and to boast that the tail of the flag is not wet; '。
