Compared with Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, what are the characteristics of tourism culture of Qiantang River tide in Hangzhou?

Qiantang tidal bore has three characteristics: transverse tide, first-line tide and turning tide. Long-term sediment deposition has formed sandbars in the river, which divides the tidal waves from Hangzhou Bay into two waves: the east tide and the south tide. After bypassing the sandbar, the two tides crossed and embraced like two brothers, forming a changeable and spectacular "crossing the river tide".

Overlooking the bell mouth of Qiantang River, the tide forms a turbulent wave, just as Malik rushes by. When the sandbars in the riverbed near Ganpu are blocked, the tidal bore is three to five meters high and the tidal range is as high as nine to ten meters. There is indeed a trend of "the sky is full of turbid waves and the rivers and mountains are destroyed".

Different positions can enjoy different tidal scenes: the tower sees the "first-line tide", the babao sees the "confluence tide" and the old salt warehouse can enjoy the "resurgence".

Extended data:

Qiantang River is located in Zhejiang Province, China, and finally flows into the East China Sea. The tidal current at its estuary is the world-famous qiantang bore. Many tourists come to see this spectacle every year. Before the tide came, a tiny white spot appeared in the distance, which turned into a ray of silver line in the blink of an eye, and the white line rolled in with the low tide sound.

Almost no one has time to react, and the surging tide has roared, reaching a maximum of 3-5 meters. The back wave catches up with the front wave, layer by layer, like a long leucorrhea, unstoppable.

From far and near, the tide is rushing, and the tide is like thunder, and the beads are splashing jade. It is Malik's rushing. Tide watching began in Han and Wei Dynasties and flourished in Tang and Song Dynasties. After more than two thousand years, this has become a local custom.
