Imagine a wall of water taller than a giraffe thundering up a river – this is the legendary tidal bore of China’s Qiantang River! Every year, around the Mid-Autumn Festival (August 18 on the lunar calendar), nature puts on a jaw-dropping show as the world’s largest tidal bore crashes through Zhejiang Province.
Why here? Science meets geography: the river’s trumpet-shaped mouth amplifies tides from the East China Sea, creating waves that can reach 9 meters (30 feet!) high. Locals call it the 'Silver Dragon' for its foamy, roaring charge – a sight that’s equal parts thrilling and humbling.
Pro traveler tip: Brave the crowds (and selfie sticks) by arriving early to secure a riverside spot. Bonus points if you catch traditional 'tide-chasing' festivals with drum performances – a cultural experience as wild as the waves!
