@meetchinatour: The Qiantang River tidal bore is one of the most spectacular natural phenomena in the world. Occurring in the Qiantang River, which flows through the city of Hangzhou in eastern China, the tidal bore is a powerful surge of water that rushes upstream against the current. This incredible event happens twice a year during the lunar calendar’s mid-summer and autumn months, when the alignment of the moon and the sun creates strong tidal forces. The tidal bore can reach speeds of up to 25 kilometers per hour and the waves can rise as high as 9 meters in some areas. The event attracts tourists, photographers, and scientists from all over the world who gather to witness the force of nature as the water sweeps through the river’s narrow channel. Historically, the Qiantang River tidal bore has been celebrated in Chinese culture, inspiring poems, paintings, and folklore. Today, it is both a natural wonder and an important part of Hangzhou’s cultural heritage. #china #chinatravel#explore#travel VC： https://v.douyin.com/3qV4QgJa_6E/ 02/21 [email protected] xsE:/

One acid trip I had, I was blasting this song thru some headphones on Yamaha receiver and I pictured those exact waves on the planet of Tattooine with the mirage of the desert and Qui Gon Jinn’s ship in the back. I chase that dragon every time now.
