🌊 A jaw-dropping natural phenomenon just dropped on China’s Qiantang River—dragon-shaped tidal patterns! Local photographer Liu Mingyong snapped these mythical-looking mudflat designs after a week-long stakeout, proving patience pays off. 🐉✨
The ‘dragon scales’ aren’t CGI magic—they’re carved by the river’s legendary tides, the world’s largest. As seawater rushes in and out, it sculpts intricate tree-like grooves and swirls across the mudflats. Think of it as Earth’s own 3D printer! 🌍🎨
Every year, thousands flock to Zhejiang Province to witness the river’s roaring tidal bore. But Liu’s photos reveal a quieter, equally mesmerizing side of this force of nature. Pro tip for travelers: Visit during autumn for peak tidal drama! 📸🍂
