Nature’s most dramatic water show is back! 🌊 Every year, the Qiantang River in Zhejiang Province stages a jaw-dropping spectacle: the world’s largest tidal bore, where ocean waves surge upstream like a liquid avalanche. This year’s prime viewing window is September 24–27, aligning with the 15th–18th days of the eighth lunar month.
Where to Watch?
Locals swear by Yanguan Town (near Hangzhou Bay) for front-row seats, but Haining City and Xiaoshan District also offer epic vantage points. Pro tip: Arrive early – crowds pack the riverbanks faster than a K-pop concert drop! 🎟️
Safety First!
🚧 Stay behind barriers – waves can reach speeds of 40 km/h (25 mph)!
📸 No risky selfies – the tide’s force has flipped cars before.
📡 Check real-time alerts via local weather apps.
Fun fact: This phenomenon has dazzled spectators for over 2,000 years, even inspiring ancient Chinese poetry. Will you catch this gravity-defying marvel? 🌙⏳
