In the classic work Tale of Kieu by the great poet Nguyen Du, one of the most tragic moments that makes readers cry is when Thuy Kieu throws herself into the Tien Duong River to give birth.

When passing through this big river, she remembered Dam Tien's dream warning: "Tien Duong River will date later", so she decisively jumped down.

In fact, the Qiantang River is a real landmark in China. The Tien Tang River has the ancient name of the Zhe River (Zhejiang). Later, the river was renamed Qiantang because it flowed through Qiantang County in ancient times, which is also the city of Hangzhou today.

In China's tourism map, Hangzhou is famous for being a poetic place, charming scenery like a fairyland. However, the Tien Duong River is the complete opposite of those. And only when we see it, perhaps we can understand why Nguyen Du wrote:

"The court is not famous

When I asked, I found out that the Tien Duong River."

Referring to the Tien Tang River, what impresses the Chinese people the most is the intense tides here. When the tide is high, huge waves crash against the shore with a force that can knock anyone in the nearby area and even some vehicles.

According to Chinese experts, the ferocity of the rising tide at the mouth of the Qiantang River is second only to the tide of the Amazon River, the river with the largest basin in the world. In China, even famous older rivers such as the Yellow River or the Yangtze River do not have strong tides like the Qiantang River. For that reason, the magnificent but also scary scene on the Tien Duong River is likened to a "water monster".

Despite the ferocity of the "water monsters" on the Tien Duong River, this spectacular sight still attracts the curiosity of a large number of tourists who come to admire it. At any time of the year, especially during the holidays, a large number of tourists can be seen flocking to the river to watch the tide.

Every month, the tide will push salt water from the sea back into the mouth of the Tien Duong River and create a magnificent phenomenon like the above. In particular, during the year on the full moon of the 8th lunar month, the tide will be at its peak, so more tourists will flock to this time, sometimes up to hundreds of thousands of people.

To prevent tides from eroding the land, Chinese authorities have also built solid embankments to block waves. This leads to when the waves hit the shore, the water will shoot higher. Because of the rare spectacular sight, the Chinese and international media regularly report on this unique natural phenomenon. "Tien Duong river tide" has become a keyword that many people are interested in on social networking platforms.

In addition, during the times of watching the high tide, many tourists were knocked down and injured due to the strong impact of the waves. The Chinese government has issued a warning to people who come to watch the tide to monitor the weather and pay attention to safety issues.

In addition, this place used to be famous for the phenomenon of fish-shaped tidal waves, on the occasion of the 8th lunar month every year is the time when the tidal waves on the Tien Duong River reach their peak. This rare moment suddenly appeared, creating a spectacular scene.

Qiantang is the largest river in Zhejiang Province. The river is nearly 670km long, passing through provinces including Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian and Shanghai and then empties into the Pacific Ocean.

According to the explanation from a scientific perspective, the tides here are abnormally large due to special topographical features, hydrological and climatic factors. According to recorded data, large waves on the Tien Duong River can be up to 10m high. The reason is that the river mouth is funnel-shaped, so the waves are even more "fierce" when they hit the shore.

"The fishscale-shaped tidal wave is a very beautiful type of tidal wave, which was discovered and named in 2021 when our institute conducted the first research. The waves rolled forward in the shape of fish scales.

Horizontal tides usually occur in the Qiantang River section in Haining City of Zhejiang Province. As the horizontal tide moves forward, it will change in shape when the two tidal currents meet," said Zhou Feiwu, general secretary of the Qiantang River Tidal Wave Research Institute.

In order to "fight" the evil waves, the ancients soon designed a large sea dike, helping to "defend" the tide with the ability to "destroy". It is known that the breakwater is centuries-old with a solid structure, which has long become one of the three major works from ancient China, next to the Great Wall and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

Tidal waves usually peak from the 15th to the 18th lunar month every year, bringing countless beautiful scenes for visitors to admire. Despite the danger, for a long time, each wave of the tide has attracted a large number of tourists to stand close to the embankment to record this impressive moment.
