Underwater photography of Qiantang River in China

I also want to go this year. I found this thing online. If you go next year, I will have a real and reliable writing. Ha ha.

On the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, people flocked to watch the tide of Qiantang River.

The best scenic spots to see Qian Jiangchao are Sheshan Meiba in Nanyang, Xiaoshan on the south bank of Qiantang River and Yanguan Town in Haining City. The main thing to see at Meiren Dam is "low tide". The tide of "beauty turning back" refers to the tide formed by rapid advancement after encountering artificial obstacles such as groins. The north shore is Daguan, Qilimiao, Yan Guan, Laoyancang to Xiasha Bridge, Qibao, the city balcony, the north side of the third Qianjiang Bridge and the vicinity of Hangshanhu Shajiuxi on the north side of the first Qianjiang Bridge. The south bank is divided into ten, eight, six and four sections to Xiaoshan Meinv Dam and Xiasha Bridge. When the spring tide comes, due to the influence of the silt in the middle of the river, the tidal bore meets and collides from east to south in the big gap area, arousing the iceberg snow peak, and the sound is like thunder, and the scene is thrilling. The Babao Longtou Corner in the South Longtou Corner of Yan Guan, Haining City is a huge reef protruding from the seawall, forming a small bay here. When the tidal bore comes here, the waves beat on the shore and the raging waves roll, which is called "angry tide". In the 1960s, a dam with a length of 650 meters and a height of 9 meters was built in the old salt warehouse, one kilometer away from the west Bayi. When the tide collides with the dam, it will rush to the dam along the slope, and then return to the seawall on the river 18 floor, and the water drops will pour down like a rainstorm, which is very spectacular. In the tide-watching park, "100,000 troops ring the midnight tide". The tide in Shanghai surges during the day, and the night tide is even more thrilling and magnificent. Watching the night tide is usually in Yan Guan Tide Watching Park. At midnight, all is silent. Suddenly, I heard the pounding of hooves coming from the east, which became louder and louder. The black dragon also rose to the surface of the river, smashing the moonlight of the whole river into silver. The river, which was just as calm as a mirror, suddenly became a choppy world. Su Dongpo once praised in the Song Dynasty: "The August 18th Tide was spectacular." Recommend a travel plan: go to Haining, then go directly to Yan to watch the sunset glow, spend the night in the open air in Guanchao Holiday Park, watch the sun tide the next day, return to Haining after watching it, and then return to Shanghai. The estimated time to Shanghai is 5: 00 pm 13. Landscape Description The Qiantang River Tide, known as the "world's largest tidal bore", is the most spectacular from Haining's point of view, also known as the Haining Tide. Before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, the tide of Haining rises, the waves are rough, and Malik rushes; When the clouds moved to the shore, the waves thundered and rolled up "thousands of piles of snow". The "Meeting Tide" of Ssangyong Sumo, the "First-line Tide" of Bailian Hengjiang, the "Turning Tide" of Xiaolong unlocking and the "Midnight Tide" of Moon Shadow Yin Tao have attracted countless tourists from home and abroad. To this end, Haining City holds a grand "Tide Watching Festival" around the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and now it has become a world-famous scenic spot. Qiantang River tide, the tidal head is as high as 8 meters, and the advancing speed of the tidal head is nearly 10 meter per second. Its spectacular scene is surging and magnificent, just like a thousand troops and horses go hand in hand, making a thunderous sound, which is really a wonder of the world. Qiantang River flows into the East China Sea in Hangzhou Bay. Its mouth is wide outside and narrow inside, with a width of 100 km, and the narrow place is only a few kilometers. As soon as the seawater enters the estuary, the water surface is very wide, and the deeper it goes, the more restricted it is by the topography on both sides. The sea water has to accumulate more and more. In addition, the water flowing out of Qiantang River is blocked, which makes the water level rise, like a vertical water wall. When the seawater in the back keeps pouring in, it forms a spectacular scene that the back waves catch up with the front waves and the waves overlap. On August 18th of the lunar calendar, people flocked to Haining, Zhejiang Province to watch the tide. At this time, the shore was crowded with people, and people were anxiously waiting for the exciting moment. After a while, I suddenly saw the crowd stir up and saw a white line in the distance, from far to near; In an instant, the wall stood on the tide, like a tall water wall, roaring and sweeping in, making a thunderous roar, which was deafening. This is really: "the sky is full of turbid waves, and rivers and mountains are destroyed." This is the world-famous tide of Qiantang River, which is known as "the wonder of the world". People usually call this tide "tidal bore" or "tidal bore". The conditions for the formation of tidal bore in Qiantang River must meet three conditions at the same time: first, it must be "new moon" (the first day of the China lunar calendar) or "lookout" (the sixteenth lunar calendar), that is, the earth, the moon and the sun are connected in a straight line; Second, this "new moon" or "hope" must be closest to the "autumnal equinox" solar term (around September 23); Third, this "new moon" or "look" must happen when the moon is closest to the earth (last year was September 17, when the earth and the moon were closest). The spring tide of Qiantang River on August 18th of the lunar calendar only meets the first condition. On the third day of the eighth lunar month, the tide of Qiantang River meets the above three conditions at the same time. Therefore, with the high tide of Qiantang River, August 18th of the lunar calendar will be much worse than August 3rd. Meng Haoran in the Tang Dynasty described qiantang bore as "a hundred miles to hear about Lei Zhen, but he stopped playing when singing" in "Watching Zhang Tingchao with Yan Gantang". Even riding out, the river is waiting for the high tide. According to the sun and the autumn sky, the sky is floating and the sea is vast. The stormy waves came like snow, and it was cold. "Liu Yuxi also wrote in his" Langtaosha "that" the waves roared in August, and his head was several feet high, touching the back of the mountain. In a blink of an eye, I arrived at Haimen, and the rolled sand was like a snowdrift. Bai Juyi said in "Jiang Nanyi": "The south of the Yangtze River is fast, and Hangzhou is the most unforgettable. Looking for laurel trees in Zhongshan Temple in the month, watching the tide on the pillow in the county pavilion. When will you revisit? "At the same time, in his work Tide, he wrote a poem:" The early tide only comes at night, and it flows sixty times a week in January. Not only did time pass, but Hangzhou was also old and was driven away by the tide. "Thus, Qiantang hole has a long-standing reputation. Recommend several good places to watch the tide: Changshanmen, Ganpu Town, Haiyan County, which is 85 meters long and 12.6 meters high. There is a sea pavilion on the hill next to the sluice. Standing in the pavilion, you can see the strange landscape that the tidal bore begins, then the tidal head stands up and presses over the beach and goes upstream. Qiantang bore was formed in the Eastern Han Dynasty at the latest, and the custom of watching tides appeared in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was famous in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was fierce in the Tang Dynasty, but it became big in the Song Dynasty. The spectacular Qian Jiangchao is not only influenced by the gravity of the moon and the sun, but also related to the trumpet-shaped mouth of Qiantang River. On the south bank of Qiantang River, nearly 500,000 mu of land was reclaimed to the east of Zheshan Mountain, which blocked the estuary like a peninsula, making the section from Zheshan Mountain to Qiantang River 12 like a small belly bottle, which is easy to retreat when the tide rises. The width of the outer mouth of Hangzhou Bay is 100 km, which is only a few kilometers away from the outer 12 section. The riverbed in the eastern part of the estuary suddenly rises and the beach is shallow. When a large number of tides flood in from the mouth of Qiantang River, it is difficult for the river to retreat because of the rapid contraction of the river surface. Secondly, it is related to the excessive sediment deposition under the Qiantang River. Sediment blocks and rubs the tidal current, making the front slope of the tidal current steep and gentle, thus forming a wave to catch up with the previous wave, wave after wave, and wave after wave.

Tips:

1. The tides in Shanghai are divided into diurnal tides and nocturnal tides, also called midnight tides. Many people think that you can't see clearly in the middle of the night and it's not worth watching at all. This is completely wrong. I have seen both the sun tide and the overnight tide. Personally, I think the tide in the middle of the night is more attractive and shocking. Besides seeing with eyes, I think it is more important to listen with ears. At midnight, few people watch the tide, and the river is dark. Yes, you can't see clearly, but the voice of Ma Benteng can be heard from a distance. In the daytime, such a sound can't be heard unless it is in front of you. All you hear is menstruation's mother crying ~ ~ The most important thing is that you can imagine watching the night tide. Listening to the deafening sound of the tide, you can imagine how big the tide is. This feeling is actually. Believe me, it's true.

2. Tickets for Tide-watching Holiday Park are at Tide-watching Festival (around August 18th of the lunar calendar), when the solar tide is observed in 50 yuan, the night tide 15 yuan, the usual solar tide 15 yuan and the night tide in 5 yuan. In order to save 50 yuan, I went to the park at night and slept on the ground all night. Although I was awakened by the cold at night, I don't have a taste in retrospect. If there are many people, it is suggested that you can bring a mat or something. I've met some of these people.

3. The best place to see the first-line tide in Tidal Holiday Park is near Zaaota. Don't go anywhere else, don't ask why, just do it ~ ~

Just because you bought a ticket to the park doesn't mean you have a seat. Although there are many seats, they all cost money. At night 10 yuan, 30 yuan during the day. I don't suggest sitting. It only takes a few minutes to watch the tide. It's really not worth the money. Girls can take an umbrella, so that they can get enough sunshine in the high tide.

5. Bring more dry food, or you will be slaughtered (learned from local people).

6. The tides are highest on August 18th of the lunar calendar, but it also depends on the weather. However, one thing is certain. Tides can be seen from the first day to the fifth day and from the fifteenth to the twentieth day of the lunar calendar every month, so you can watch tides on120th day a year.
