Expert: Tourists must also pay attention to personal safety when watching tides
Haining Yanguan gradually became a tide-watching resort during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Bao Zengjun, a professor-level senior engineer at Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Center, said that the Qiantang River Road in the urban area of Hangzhou led eastward directly to Hangzhou Bay during the Tang and Song Dynasties. At that time, the river was straight and the tide came straight in. Bai Juyi and Su Dongpo might watch the spectacular tide from the tower in Hangzhou. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Qiantang River swung northward and became straight at the Yanguan section. Therefore, this area became the first choice for tide watching.
According to statistics, more than 400 rivers in the world have tidal surges at their estuaries, and the Amazon River Estuary in South America and the Qiantang River Estuary in East Asia have the highest tidal surges. Experts explained that the reputation of Qiantang Tide is due to three factors: time, location, and people: at the beginning and middle of each month in the lunar calendar, the sun, earth, and moon are in the same straight line, and the tidal force formed by the sun and the moon is the greatest. Hangzhou Bay, where the Qiantang River flows into, is a bell mouth that is narrow in the west and wide in the east. The tide pours in from the East China Sea all the way to the west. The river channel is constantly narrowing, and the sand sills at the bottom of the water cause the tide to keep rising. Both sides of the lower reaches of the Qiantang River are densely populated and culturally prosperous. Tide watching has become a great pleasure for local people and literati, forming a famous cultural landscape. Bao Zengjun said that the starting point of the Qiantang tide is also moving eastward. The traditional starting point is Dajianshan, Haining. The 2021 tidal scientific survey found that the tidal point moved 5 kilometers eastward.
The tides are spectacular, but also risky. Ye Xiaojie, an engineer at Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Center, said tourists must also pay attention to personal safety when watching tides.
