Girls! Stop crowding to Moganshan and Anji! This year, for the combined Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays, I’ve discovered a jackpot vacation spot — Haining Yanguan Ancient City, the "City of Tides and Music"! The biggest tidal event of the year meets the super long Golden Week, with tide watching + music carnival double buffs stacked. This is the ultimate 2025 relaxation vacation worth rushing for! (Includes the most comprehensive hotel guide online👇)
🌊【World-class wonder: Qiantang River tidal bore meets music wave】
✅ China’s first and only cross-scene music carnival held on the banks of the Qiantang Tide!
✅ From 10.1 to 10.13, lasting 13 days, featuring 6 music styles + 65 band performances in relay
✅ Swing to jazz/rock in the river breeze by day, watch artistic lights illuminate the night tide by night (10.6-10.9 exclusive night tide concerts!)
✅ Exclusive experience: Stand by the millennium-old sea dike, with music waves in your ears and natural giant waves before your eyes, instantly understanding what a "heaven and earth stage" means
