Qiantang River, known as Zhejiang in ancient times, is also known as Zhejiang, Zhijiang and Luoshajiang. Generally, Fuyang section of Zhejiang Province is called Fuchun River, and Hangzhou section in the lower reaches of Zhejiang Province is called Qiantang River. Qiantang River was first named after Shanhaijing, because it flows through ancient Qiantang County. It is one of the main cradles of Wu and Yue culture. Qiantang River is the largest river in Zhejiang Province. It is the source of the naming of Liangzhe Road in the Song Dynasty and the source of the province name when Zhejiang Province was founded in the early Ming Dynasty. It is 588.73 kilometers long from Xin 'anjiang in the north.

Starting from Majinxi in the upper reaches of Nanyuan Qujiang River, the river is 522.22 kilometers long. From the source, it flows through the southern part of Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province, with a drainage area of 55,58 square kilometers. It flows into the East China Sea through Hangzhou Bay. The Qiantang River tide is known as the first tide in the world, and it is a natural wonder in the world. It is caused by the centrifugal effect of celestial gravity and the rotation of the earth, and the special topography of the bell mouth of Hangzhou Bay.

Overview of the main stream

The main stream of Qiantang River has different names everywhere. From its birthplace, it is Dayuan River, and then it is called Lushui. In Tunxi, an important tributary of Xin 'anjiang River flows into Lushui. From the mouth of Tunxi to Pukou, this river is called Jian Jiang, where Jian Jiang meets Lianjiang, a secondary tributary of Xin 'anjiang. In this section of Lianjiang River, there are several important tertiary tributaries, namely Fengle River, Fuzi Water and Yangzhi Water.

after the confluence of Pukou and Jian Jiang, Lianjiang flows into Qiandao Lake and looks down all the time. Then, it falls off the dam and reaches the territory of Zhejiang, Jiande, first called Xin 'anjiang, then called Fuchunjiang in Tonglu County, and then at Wenjiayan in Hangzhou. This river is renamed Qiantang River and then flows into the East China Sea.
