Haining Tidal Bay

Haining, Zhejiang | August 2025

Haining Tidal Bay, in Zhejiang Province, China, is famous for its spectacular Qiantang River tidal bore — one of the largest in the world. During high tide, a massive wall of water rushes upstream, sometimes reaching several meters high. This powerful natural phenomenon draws thousands of visitors each year who gather along the riverbanks to witness the roaring waves and dramatic surges.
