2025Tide Watching in Haining|trip.com

Haining Tide Watching, located in Haining City, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, is a natural wonder renowned both at home and abroad, especially the Qiantang River Tide, which has been listed as a provincial intangible cultural heritage of Zhejiang Province. The formation of the Haining tide is due to the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon and the special topography of the Hangzhou Bay. The tide is as high as 10 meters, the waves are surging, and the momentum is like a galloping horse, which is extremely spectacular. The best time to watch the tide is from the first to the fifth and the fifteenth to the twentieth of each lunar month, especially on the eighteenth day of the eighth lunar month, when tens of thousands of people often gather in Haining Yanguan to enjoy this view. In addition, every year on the 18th day of the eighth lunar month, Haining hosts the China International Qianjiang (Haining) Tide Watching Festival, which integrates a number of cultural activities and attracts many tourists. Watching the tide in Haining is a grand event that combines nature and culture and should not be missed.
