The Qiantang river, running from the west to the Hangzhou Bay, is known
for its tidal bore, caused by the tide rushing into the river from the
bay. The tide bore generally travels up more than 10 meters high. It is
very dangerous but also creates the marvelous spectacle!
Annually, lots of people from both home and abroad are attracted there to watch this natural wonder, and in Hangzhou, citizens living around the Qiantang River hold various activities to celebrate the International Tide Watching Festival, which opens August 16 in the Chinese Lunar Calendar every year.
