The three best places to watch the tide in Qiantang River are: a seawall in the southeast of Yan Guan Town, Haining City, Babao, 8 km east of Yan Guan Town, and the old salt warehouse 12 km west of Yan Guan Town.

Qiantang River was first named in Shan Hai Jing. Named after the ancient Qiantang County (now Hangzhou), it is one of the main cradles of Wuyue culture. Qiantang River is the largest river in Zhejiang Province. It is the source of the naming of Liangzhe Road in Song Dynasty, and also the source of Zhejiang's provincial name when it was established in the early Ming Dynasty. It starts from Xin 'anjiang in the north, with a total length of 588 and 73 kilometers; South to Ma Jinxi in the upper reaches of Qujiang River, with a total length of 522 and 22 kilometers.

From the source, it flows through southern Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province, with a drainage area of 55,058 square kilometers, and flows into the East China Sea via Hangzhou Bay. Known as the "first tide in the world", the Qiantang River tide is a natural wonder in the world, which is caused by the centrifugal effect of celestial gravity and the earth's rotation, as well as the special terrain of the bell mouth of Hangzhou Bay.

Matters needing attention in tide-watching tourism in Qiantang River:

1, choose safe areas and lots for tidal observation, pay attention to warning signs and obey the management of management personnel. Don't cross the fence to the floodplain, groin and other places. Go to play and enjoy the cool. Don't swim or bathe in the river.

2, master the method of self-help. In the face of danger, don't panic, quickly and orderly retreat to safety, and immediately call for help to the surrounding staff or others. In case of falling into the water or being hit by the tide, try to grasp the fixtures around you to prevent them from being swept away by the tide.
