The "ghost king tide" of Qiantang River is coming. What kind of scene is this?

Qiantang River has been a popular scenic spot for tide watching in China since ancient times, and even an author wrote an article specially for tide watching in Qiantang River, which was studied by students in teaching textbooks. Every year, tourists from all over the country come to watch Tide Watching Day. Qiantang River is not only magnificent, but also crowded with people. The tide in Qiantang River is also called the Ghost King Tide by local people on July 18 every year.

The name of Ghost Wangchao comes from the name of Ghost Wangchao because every year when the Qiantang River is at high tide, it is around the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Ghost Festival. At that time, the tide in Qiantang River was magnificent. Ghost King Chao is actually a folk name, although its grandeur is actually influenced by weather, wind and wind direction. According to the observation data of relevant departments, the tides in Qiantang River are generally in late autumn, when the tides will be relatively large, reaching as high as 1 .8m, and the late tide will form around130 in the afternoon, which is the best time for tide observation, but the data will be a little bit every year.

The tidal water in Qiantang River is very famous, which causes tides to be distinguished by names according to different time periods and tidal states. For example, the crossing tide seen 55 kilometers away from Hangzhou Bay, where two tides bypass the sandbar and cross each other, presents a spectacular scene. You can watch the tsunami in Yan Guan, but you can hear its sound before you see its shadow. I saw that the river was calm but there was a loud noise, which was deafening. In the distance, a white line appeared on the river and gradually became a water wall. The first-line tide from the upper reaches of Guanyan Salt impacted the 660-meter dam of the old salt warehouse and quickly turned around and rushed forward. The sound is as earth-shattering as a lion's roar. This is the turning tide, the midnight tide rolled up at midnight.

Watch the tide and pay attention to your own safety. The formation of tidal water in Qiantang River is related to many factors, such as celestial movement, tides caused by the moon, riverbed conditions, typhoons and air pressure. It is magnificent, making people feel the majestic power of nature and its own smallness in nature. So be sure to stay away from the shore when watching the tide, and beware of people stepping on it.
