Rare Dragon Scale Tide on Qiantang River Brings Good Luck

Qiantang River has once again displayed a large-scale "Dragon Scale Tide," majestic like a dynamic wallpaper, stirring the heart! Originally called Zhejiang, the Qiantang River originates from Huaiyu Mountain at the border of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, stretching 605 kilometers. Its estuary forms a huge trumpet shape, and due to the narrowing river surface and raised riverbed, it creates the world-famous spectacle known as the "Qiantang River Tide." This "Dragon Scale Tide" is especially rare, with the surging tide resembling shining dragon scales, a truly magnificent sight. Visitors can head to the lower reaches of the Qiantang River near Liuhe Pagoda in Hangzhou's Xihu District. Climb Liuhe Pagoda to overlook the grand scene, with the Qiantang River Bridge and the scenery on both banks fully in view. At night, the lights on both sides shine brilliantly, making it an excellent opportunity for photography enthusiasts to capture the nightscape. The Qiantang River tide, the bridge, and the night view—all are worth savoring. Come to Qiantang River to experience the stunning charm of this natural wonder, wishing all who see it good luck and smooth sailing!
