Specific time and place of tidal observation point of Xiasha Bridge

The tidal observation point of Xiasha Bridge is around August 18th of the lunar calendar every year. Located at the intersection of Jiangdong Road and Jiangwan Lane in Qiantang District, the view of tidal observation along the river is very good.

Xiasha Bridge is located in the tidal bore section of Qiantang River. The main channel is on the shore of Xiaoshan. When the water level is low, the shoal is exposed and the riverbed surface is changeable. The tidal bore crosses the river, and the velocity is high and low. The direction of Bohai Bay is chaotic and changeable. The tidal current of Xiasha Bridge is the largest on August18th of the lunar calendar, and it can be seen from the first day to the fifth day and from15th to 20th of the lunar month, so you can watch the tidal current on120th of a year, and August18th of the lunar calendar is the best time to watch the tidal current.

Xiasha Bridge is the largest and longest bridge on Qiantang River, and its main span and pile depth of main pier are the highest in domestic bridge construction. Before the tide came, a small white spot appeared in the distance, which turned into a ray of silver line in the blink of an eye, and the white line rolled in with the low tide sound. Almost before people can react, the surging tide has roared, with a peak of 3-5 meters. The back wave drives the front wave, layer by layer, like a long leucorrhea, overwhelming.

Precautions for tide watching:

1. Know the tide information in advance: Before observing the tide, it is very important to know the tide information (such as tide table, tide table, etc.) in the target area. ). Understand the time, amplitude and tidal period of low tide and high tide, so as to arrange appropriate tidal observation time and predict tidal behavior.

2. Choose a safe distance: When choosing a tidal observation point, please ensure that it is far enough from the coastline to keep a safe distance. The strong impact of the waves may make the tidal watchers lose their balance and even be washed away.

3. Consider the escape route in advance: pay attention to the escape route near the tidal observation point and be familiar with how to leave the dangerous area as soon as possible. When watching tide, the tide may suddenly rush to the shore, causing danger.

4. Respect warning signs: When encountering warning signs or beach warnings, please follow the instructions and stay in the designated area. These signs are set for your safety.

5. Pay attention to the weather: the weather has a great influence on the tides, and violent storms will lead to tidal anomalies and increase the risk of tidal observation. Please pay attention to the weather forecast before going out to avoid watching the tide in bad weather.

6. Don't turn your back on the ocean: When watching the tide, keep facing the ocean and don't turn your back on the ocean. In this way, we can better observe, predict and respond to the changes of waves in time.
