Do I need to make an appointment to watch the tide in Qiantang River?

Online booking in the peak season of tide watching.

In the best period of tide-watching, for example, a few days before and after August 15th of the lunar calendar, the number of tourists watching tide in Qiantang River will surge, so it may be necessary to make an appointment at this time. Some tourist attractions or viewing platforms may limit the number of people to ensure the safety of tourists and the tidal experience. Therefore, at the peak of tide watching, it is recommended to make an appointment in advance to ensure the smooth tide watching.

In the non-optimal period, the number of tourists is relatively small, and tidal observation stations may not be crowded. At this time, there is no need to make an appointment for tidal observation. However, it should be noted that the tidal observation of Qiantang River is greatly influenced by weather and tides, and the size and time of tidal observation will change with the movement of the moon and the sun. Therefore, it is best to inquire about relevant information in advance before tide observation, so as to understand the tide situation of the day and choose the appropriate place and time for tide observation.

Mainstream survey

There are different names around the main stream of Qiantang River. From its birthplace, it is Dayuan River. Then, it's called water rate. In Tunxi, an important tributary of the upper reaches of Xin 'anjiang River flows into the river. From Tunxikou to Pukou, this river is called Jianjiang. At Pukou, Jianjiang meets Lianjiang, a secondary tributary of Xin 'anjiang. In this section of Lianjiang River, there are several important tertiary tributaries, namely Fengle River, Fuzishui and Yangzhishui.

After Pukou and Jianjiang meet, Lianjiang flows into Qiandao Lake and flows downward. Then he fell off the dam and arrived in Jiande, Zhejiang Province, first called Xin 'anjiang, then called Fuchunjiang in Tonglu County, and then at Wenjiayan in Hangzhou. The river was renamed Qiantang River and then flowed into the East China Sea.
