Qiantang River

The Qiantang River is a major waterway in eastern China, flowing through Zhejiang Province and famous for its tidal bore—an impressive natural phenomenon where a strong surge of water moves upstream against the flow of the river during high tides. This tidal bore can reach impressive heights, sometimes over 10 meters, attracting spectators and surfers. The river plays a vital role in regional transportation, agriculture, and industry, supporting local communities. Its scenic landscapes and the tidal bore event make it a notable geographic and cultural feature in China.
