The Qiantang River tide looks like a traditional ink painting

After the tide recedes on the Qiantang River, a vivid "tidal tree" landscape emerges, resembling a meticulously crafted ink painting by nature, inspiring awe at nature's craftsmanship. The Qiantang River originates from Huaiyu Mountain at the border of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, stretching 605 kilometers in length. Its estuary forms a huge trumpet shape, and due to the narrowing river surface and raised riverbed, it creates the world-famous spectacle known as the "Qiantang River Tide." Visitors can go to the area near Liuhe Pagoda in Hangzhou's Xihu District and climb the pagoda to overlook the magnificent view of the Qiantang River, with the Qiantang River Bridge and the scenery on both banks fully in sight. At night, the brightly lit banks provide an excellent opportunity for photography enthusiasts to capture the night scene. Come to the Qiantang River and experience this unique blend of natural and cultural beauty!
