Introduction of Three Scenes of Qiantang River

Qiantang River, called Zhejiang in ancient times, is also called Zhejiang River, Zhijiang River and Luosha River. Generally, Fuyang section of Zhejiang Province is called Fuchun River, and Hangzhou section of Zhejiang Province is called Qiantang River. Qiantang River, first seen in Shan Hai Jing, is named after the ancient Qiantang County (now Hangzhou) and is one of the main cradles of Wuyue culture.

Brief introduction of Qiantang River scenic spot

Qiantang River, formerly known as Zhejiang, also known as Zhijiang, originated in Huaiyu Mountain at the junction of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, with a total length of 605 kilometers. It is the longest and largest river in Zhejiang Province. The tidal waters of Qiantang River, Qiantang River Bridge and night scenes on both sides of Qiantang River are the most noteworthy landscapes of Qiantang River.

The mouth of Qiantang River is a huge horn, and the distance between the north and south banks of Hangzhou Bay is about 100 km. It's only 20 kilometers, only 2.5 kilometers, from the mouth of Qiantang River to Yan Guan, Haining. Influenced by the narrow beam on the river surface and the uplift of the river bed, this section of the river breaks up and forms the "Qiantang River Tide", which is a wonder of the world. The famous Qiantang River Bridge was built near Pagoda of Six Harmonies in Xihu District, Hangzhou, in the lower reaches of Qiantang River.

Pagoda of Six Harmonies on the banks of Qiantang River is an excellent viewing platform overlooking the magnificent scenery of Qiantang River. You can see the panoramic view of Qiantang River Bridge and its banks. After nightfall, the two banks are brightly lit, which is a good time for photographers to capture the night scene.

Play tips

Hangzhou Xiaoshan Guanchao City and Jiaxing Yan Guan are ideal places to watch the Qiantang River. Usually, the high tide is the highest from the fifteenth to the twentieth day of the first lunar month, and the viewing effect is the best around one or two in the afternoon.
