"August 18 tide, spectacular world without." This is su Dongpo's ancient famous sentence praising the Qiantang tide. Throughout the ages, the Qiantang Tide, with its magnificent spectacle, has dumped countless tide watchers. Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the "big tide day" of the Qiantang tide, and today (21st) is no exception.
Wei Ran: The days around the Mid-Autumn Festival are the traditional Tide Watching Festival in Haining, and in the past, at this time of year, Yanguan Town would attract 100,000 tourists to come here, and the grand event was unprecedented. Affected by the epidemic this year, the daily flow limit of the Yanguan Guanchao Scenic Area is 14,000 people, and now we have seen people waiting for a long time on the observation street, all focusing on the same direction, that is, the direction of the Qiantang tide.
Before you see the tide, you hear the tide
What we see now is the tide. At the confluence of water and sky, a white line has appeared slowly approaching us. Now that the tide has passed the new water pattern card, it can be said that the tide sound has not been seen before the morning shadow, we have heard the sound of thunder rumbling before, the Tide of Qiantang is often called the silver dragon, just like this rolling white wave after the wave pushes the front wave layer by layer, the momentum is very majestic.
All the way to the west Qiantang tide trek hundreds of kilometers
Qiantang tide from the mouth of Hangzhou Bay will go all the way up the current, and finally reach the downtown area of Hangzhou, a long journey of more than 100 kilometers, equivalent to running three marathon distances, physical strength is amazing. And when it reached the salt official, the journey was just over halfway through, and its physical strength was still very abundant.
In the picture, you can see a blue building, which is the old hydrological tower of Yanguan, which is also very close to the shore, and when the Qiantang tide comes to the old hydrological tower, it means that the audience on the scene can see the Qiantang tide through the naked eye.
This is the picture of the tide lapping at the shore of Qiantang that our industrial cameras have captured.
The ancient sea pond of the "Great Wall of The Sea" guards the peace of the party
Like now the random flowers are lapping at this ancient sea pond, it is called the fish scale stone pond. Built in the Qianlong period, it has a history of more than 280 years, and after hundreds of years of tidal impact, it is still standing as before, guarding the peace of the people on one side, and is also known as the Great Wall of the Hanhai Sea.
The "first-line tide" appears: the white rainbow is a spectacle
We see that the part of the face near the north bank is still relatively straight, but at the center of the river we see the formation of a curved amplitude, and the whole dynasty is an S-shaped state. Nature seems to be casting magic, and all the tides are like thousands of troops and horses receiving unified military orders, advancing in unison and uniformly.
Thousands of miles of waves rolling in Qiantang tide reached Yanguan
The speed of the tide in the river is very fast, can reach more than 7 meters per second, and the fastest time can reach 12 meters per second. The strength of the rolling waves is also amazing, the surge has a thrust of 6 to 7 tons per square meter, which can easily overthrow three cars.
Guan Tide began in Han Wei Sheng in the Tang and Song Dynasties, after more than 2,000 years of history, the tide came and went, the tide turned between the stars and the vicissitudes of the sea, the tide is still there, but the people watching the tide are different from year to year. The custom of watching the tide in Haining has been enduring for thousands of years, which is the eternal charm of nature.
