The tide watching in Yanguan Town, Haining, is well known because of that elementary school text. · I chose the 100 RMB/person carpool tide chasing tour, starting from the upper reaches of the tide to see three spots. The first spot was Xincang, I didn’t pay much attention to the other two, and I saw three types of tides in order: cross tide, single-line tide, and dragon head tide. The tide changes daily. You can check the size and timing of the tide on the “Qianjiang Tide” mini program, which is quite accurate. The day I went was a big tide, but unfortunately, the air wasn’t very clear. · Spot ❶ Cross Tide After waiting for more than 20 minutes, I finally vaguely saw white lines appear on the calm lake surface—two lines approaching from two directions. After a while, the white lines showed rolling waves, which got closer and bigger. The two waves began to converge, and the whole water surface surged wildly, with a huge wave rapidly rolling from one side to the other. I started seeing the tide around 12:46 and left at 12:58. · Spot ❷ Single-Line Tide It took only a few minutes after reaching the riverbank for the tide to arrive. The tide pushed across from a white line far away. I saw the tide at 13:35, and by 13:40 the river surface in front of me was surging. The driver urged us to get on the car quickly to rush to the next spot. This intense pace really requires a local to manage. · Spot ❸ Dragon Head Tide The tide swept right up to us, and the tide head churned in place for a minute or two, like a proud dragon head. The tide came at 13:55, and the whole tide watching ended shortly after 2 PM.

Who understands! Witnessing the "frontline tide" surging on the Qiantang River during National Day left me speechless with shock! The tide rushes like thousands of white horses breaking through the sky, the crashing sound louder than thunder, and the scenes from textbooks actually come to life✨ This guide thoroughly reveals the "tide viewing spots, tidal times, and pitfall avoidance tips" to help you avoid crowds and easily capture National Geographic-level shots! 🌊 First, understand these 2 key points! Don’t waste money 1. National Day Golden Period for Tide Viewing This year, the 18th day of the eighth lunar month falls on October 9th, the most spectacular period for the world’s number one tide! From October 1st to 7th, the tides are very strong, with the highest tides from October 6th to 8th (the 15th to 17th of the eighth lunar month), making the tide viewing index skyrocket🌟 2. Must-Check Tide Tools Tide times vary daily and can fluctuate about 20 minutes due to wind! Check one day in advance to avoid waiting in vain: - Official channels: Search “Qiantang River Tidal Bore” mini program on WeChat, or “Zheli Ban” app and search “Tide is Coming” - Reference times (example for October 7th): Haining Yanguan 12:30, Xiaoshan Meinv Dam 13:59, West Lake Jiuxi 14:21 📍 Top 5 National Day Tide Viewing Spots (with features + tips) 1. Haining Yanguan Tide Viewing Park (The pinnacle of frontline tide) - Key highlight: The birthplace of the most classic “frontline tide” on the Qiantang River! The tide surges straight from afar like a white wall pressing against the shore, framed with the 400-year-old Zhan’ao Tower, creating a real-life scene of the “Haining Pagoda Frontline Tide” - Detailed tips: ✅ Best spots: Viewing Platform No. 2 (central location in the park, unobstructed view), Baishitai Square (captures the moment the tide hits the stone pond) ✅ Hidden gem: There’s a giant “Tide Viewing” Chinese textbook sculpture in the park, perfect for vintage-style photos ✅ Tickets: 90 RMB/person during tide season from October 5-13, 30 RMB/person off-season ✅ Transport: Take Hangzhou-Haining intercity rail to Yanguan Station, transfer to bus 332 direct; self-drive navigation to P4 parking lot, 10 RMB/day 2. Xiaoshan Meinv Dam (Double hit of returning tide + sky-high tide) - Key highlight: The tide hits the dam and suddenly reverses, forming a “returning tide” several meters high, followed by a second surge creating a “sky-high tide,” with splashing waves that are incredibly stunning—great for dynamic shots🎞 - Detailed tips: ✅ Best spot: East side viewing platform of the dam (captures the full tide reversal panorama), arrive 1.5 hours early to secure a spot ✅ Tickets: Free (best value but few unobstructed spots) ✅ Transport: Self-drive navigation “Meinv Dam Tide Viewing Spot,” parking fee 20 RMB/visit; bus 351 to Meinvshan Station, then 10-minute walk ✅ Pitfall: Stones by the dam are slippery, never climb over the railing (annual drowning accidents occur) 3. Haining Xincang Liangjiadun (Niche cross tide) - Key highlight: The tide splits into two streams forming a “cross tide,” unpredictable and highly watchable, with 60% fewer people than Yanguan, easy to get empty shots📷 - Detailed tips: ✅ Best spot: Mid-section of the riverside walkway (find high steps for full cross tide panorama) ✅ Tickets: Free (natural tide viewing spot, great to avoid crowds) ✅ Bonus: After watching the tide, stroll through Liangjiadun Ancient Town, enjoy farmhouse cuisine, and experience slow living ✅ Transport: Self-drive navigation “Liangjiadun Visitor Center,” free parking 4. West Lake Jiuxi (City treasure tide viewing spot) - Key highlight: A “returning tide” viewable within the city; the tide hits the shore and flows upstream along Jiuxi River, paired with maple trees on the bank (turning red in mid to late October), creating a very poetic scene🌊 - Detailed tips: ✅ Best spot: River embankment near Jiuxi Police Station (less crowded and safe, suitable for families) ✅ Tickets: Free ✅ Transport: Metro Line 6 to Zhijiang Road Station, 20-minute walk; or taxi directly to Jiuxi embankment ✅ Combined activity: After tide viewing, explore Jiuxi Eighteen Streams, where autumn maple leaves are stunning 5. Haining Old Salt Warehouse (Best spot for night tide) - Key highlight: Spectacular night tide during National Day! Under moonlight, the tide shimmers silver, hitting the dam to form a “returning tide,” adding a mysterious vibe compared to daytime tides - Detailed tips: ✅ Best time: One hour after sunset (around 18:30 in October, tide around 19:00) ✅ Tickets: Free ✅ Gear: Bring a flashlight (path is dark), wear non-slip shoes ✅ Transport: Self-drive navigation “Old Salt Warehouse Tide Viewing Spot,” parking 15 RMB/visit 📝 National Day Tide Viewing Pitfall Avoidance & Preparation Checklist (Life-saving level) 1. Pitfall guide (hard-learned lessons) ❌ Don’t trust “private tide spots”: Roadside touts’ “best spots” are often traps, costing money and dangerous ❌ Stay away from danger zones: Areas within 2 meters outside the yellow warning line are dangerous; the tide’s force can flip cars ❌ Don’t arrive late: Popular spots require arriving 1-2 hours early; National Day crowds mean latecomers only see heads ❌ Avoid flip-flops and short skirts: Strong riverside wind and splashing waves can soak clothes; wear sneakers + windproof jacket for safety 2. Must-bring items - Clothing: Khaki/black jacket (great contrast with tide, brightens photos), baseball cap (blocks wind and looks good on camera) - Gear: Waterproof phone pouch (protects from splashes), power bank (video recording drains battery), foldable stool (queue spot saver) - Others: Sunscreen (UV still strong in October), wet wipes (windy and dusty by the river), some snacks (tide viewing takes time) 3. High-value itinerary recommendations One-day tour (focused on efficient tide viewing) Morning: Arrive at Yanguan Ancient Town at 9:00, visit Haishen Temple (“Southern Forbidden City” with tide god rituals), Confucius Temple and Academy (wear Hanfu for ancient-style photos) Noon: Eat Qianjiang fish balls and Haining jar pork at the ancient town (must-order at Prime Minister’s Mansion Restaurant) Afternoon: Arrive at Yanguan Tide Viewing Park before 12:00 to secure a spot, watch the 12:30 frontline tide, then return Two-day tour (in-depth experience) Day 1: Depart Hangzhou → check in at Yanguan Ancient Town (recommend Main Singer Music Resort Hotel, includes park tickets + VIP tide viewing access) → visit Jin Yong Academy → watch night tide Day 2: Morning visit Confucius Temple and Academy, experience drum-beating ceremony → noon eat yellow wine drunken crab → afternoon visit Xiaoshan Meinv Dam to watch returning tide → return 💡 Final reminder The Qiantang River tidal bore is breathtakingly beautiful but far more powerful than imagined! Always follow park staff instructions and stay away from danger zones. Instead of squeezing into popular tourist spots during National Day, come here to witness nature’s “visual feast”—the shock will stay with you for a lifetime~ Quickly grab your friends and join this autumn tide rendezvous!👇

My first time in Yanguan, I thought I was just going to see the tides. But I was thrilled by the live house at the "Leading Singer Music Resort Hotel." And then, in the morning mist courtyard of the "Xuan Demen Hotel," I listened to the sounds of the guqin while sipping half a cup of osmanthus tea. It turns out that the romance of Yanguan is a combination of the wildness of the tides and the tenderness of the music. And staying at the right hotel is the key to unlocking it! ------ 📍[Basic Information] A Babysitting Guide to Checking In Project Details 🗺️ Located in Yanguan Town, Haining City, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province (1.5-2 hours direct drive from Shanghai or Hangzhou) 🚇 High-speed Rail: Take a train to Haining West Station, then a 20-minute taxi ride to Yanguan Ancient Town.

Accurate to the minute; ▪️ Arrive an hour early! Popular spots (like Zhan'ao Tower) are crowded, so arriving early will secure a front-row seat; ▪️ Wear non-slip shoes! The winds along the river are strong, and the cobblestones can be slippery in the rain. Safety first! 🎶 Act Two: Listen to the "Guqin Melody"—Jiangnan elegant music etched into our DNA Yanguan is known as the "Hometown of Guqin Art in China." Even the wind carries the lingering sound of "Flowing Water"! • Must-Experiences: ✅ Guqin Cultural Park "Twelve Beats of the Tide" performance (every night at 7:30 PM, wear Hanfu and sit front row; the lingering sound of the guqin is incredibly soothing); ✅ Guqin Workshop (the instructor will teach you to play "Jasmine Flower," even beginners can do it!); ✅ "Encountering" guqin music in the alleys of the ancient city (teahouses and cafes often feature street performers, creating a vibrant atmosphere). ------ 🏨[Accommodation Recommendation] Stay at the right hotel and experience the trendy music twice! 🎤 Lead Singer Music Resort Hotel: Bringing the livehouse to the hotel! 📍Location: Northwest of Yanguan Ancient City (10-minute walk to Guanchao Park, 5-minute bike ride to the ancient city) ✨ Why Choose This? • A paradise for music lovers! The lobby is a "music box," with guitars and basses hanging on the spiral staircase. The rooftop open-air live house hosts indie bands every Friday and Saturday (I listened to folk music the night I stayed there; the river breeze and the guitar sounds were simply divine!). • Hidden musical Easter eggs in the rooms! Each room has a record player and piano. My "Tide Sound Room" overlooked the ancient city river, and I could hear faint guqin sounds at night. • Exclusive guest benefits! Receive a free "Guqin Experience" voucher (one-hour lessons with a teacher) and receive a handwritten music postcard at the front desk. 💰Recommendation: 800-1500 yuan/night (slightly higher on holidays, so booking in advance is recommended). 🏮 Xuandemen Hotel: A beautiful accommodation with Song Dynasty charm hidden within the ancient city. 📍Location: Central area of ​​Yanguan Ancient City (beneath the Xuandemen city wall, a 3-minute walk to the Guqin Garden). ✨ Why choose this hotel? • Step into the beauty of Jiangnan! The hotel is part of an "ancient city renovation project," preserving the arched eaves and corners of Ming and Qing dynasty courtyards. Rooms feature natural wood accents and Suzhou embroidery. A replica of the ancient painting of Xuande Gate hangs above the bed, and even the incense is scented with osmanthus (a truly memorable touch!). • The Morning Mist Courtyard is absolutely stunning! From 6:30 to 7:30 a.m., a light mist drifts through the small courtyard. Freshly brewed osmanthus tea sits on the stone table, and sitting in the porch watching an elderly woman sweep the bluestone slabs is like being transported back to the novel "Dream of Splendor." • Butler service! Each guest has a dedicated butler who will proactively ask questions like, "Want to try the guqin?" and "Do I need an umbrella for tide-watching?" They'll even explain where to eat authentic Yanqiu (a traditional Chinese food game)! 💰Recommendation: 600-1200/night (family rooms come with toys, making them child-friendly) ------ 🍜[Food Map] Hidden "Fresh" Restaurants Near the Hotel • Main Singer Hotel & Music Bar: Must-order the "Chaosheng Grilled Fish" (the fish is so tender it's boneless, and the lemon sauce is a perfect sizzler). Enjoy a glass of "Green Plum Wine" while watching a live performance in the evening for a truly captivating atmosphere. • Xuandemen Ancient City Restaurant: Enjoy the "old-fashioned" flavors of the hotel's backyard. Braised jar meat is tender and tender. Add a spoonful of hot broth to rice—I could easily top two bowls! (Over 30 per person, a frequent stop for local ladies). • Yanqiu King, Ancient City Old Street: A must-try in Yanguan! Freshly made yuba balls are chewy and fragrant, paired with a bowl of fermented rice dumplings – a freshness etched into our DNA. ------ 🚶♀️ [One-Day Tour Itinerary] Embrace the music of the tide for 24 hours Morning: 7:30 Tea in the Morning Mist Courtyard of the Xuandemen Hotel → 8:30 Walk to Guanchao Park to see the "front-line tide" (check the tide chart in advance!) → 10:00 Guqin Cultural Park for a performance and a guqin exhibition Lunch: Enjoy pot-rice with pork at the Gucheng Canteen → 1:00 Listen to folk music at the hotel's rooftop livehouse Afternoon: 3:00 PM Photographing Hanfu costumes on the Xuandemen City Wall (hotel reservations available, 80 yuan/set) → 4:30 PM Browse magazines and enjoy coffee at the hotel's music and book bar Evening: 7:30 PM "Twelve Beats of the Tide" performance at the Guqin Park → 9:00 PM End your day with a relaxing night view of the ancient city from the terrace of the Main Singer Hotel~ ------ 💡[Practical Tips] Pitfall Avoidance + Hassle-Free Guide ▪️ Wear a light-colored cotton and linen skirt!

"The eighteenth of August tide is unparalleled under heaven" – visiting Yanguan Tide Music City truly left me awestruck! Upon entering the scenic area, the first thing that caught my eye was the wildly popular tidal wall, where water curtains intertwine with light effects. Every hour on the hour, an "artificial tidal surge" is activated, creating a spectacular scene that draws crowds of photo-takers. The area is divided into southern and northern routes. I explored the northern route first, visiting Xu Zhimo's family-owned Yufeng Soy Sauce Garden, then touring the former residence of Chancellor Chen and the Republic-era police station, finally arriving at the Imperial Dock where Emperor Qianlong disembarked – it truly felt like stepping back in time. The next day, I followed the southern route to witness the Qiantang River tidal bore firsthand at the Tide-Watching Park, with crests reaching up to 3 meters high. The thunderous sound of the surging waves resembled a thousand cavalry charging across the water, exactly as described in our school textbooks! The Jin Yong Academy is also well worth visiting, evoking childhood dreams of martial arts. For accommodation, I chose the Lead Singer Music Resort Hotel within the scenic area. The rooms are filled with musical elements and offer spacious comfort. The Music Home Museum in the hotel's basement is particularly fascinating – you can wave a baton to experience conducting an orchestra and even engage in a cross-temporal dialogue with seven music masters. The only drawback was that some areas were under renovation, and there were relatively few operating merchants.

Suddenly inspired to visit Haining·Jiaxing for tide-watching this weekend, I immediately prepared this special guide to share with everyone. 🚉Transportation Tips: To visit Haining·Jiaxing for tide-watching, there are two main scenic areas: Yanguan Tide Music Town (formerly Yanguan Ancient Town) and Tide-Watching Park. These two attractions are located right next to each other. 🗓Itinerary Suggestions: First, check the tide-watching schedule (synchronized on Haining's official WeChat account). If the tide is at noon, visit Tide Music Town first (estimated 2-3 hours), then go to the park for tide-watching. For early morning tides, watch at Tide-Watching Park first before visiting Yanguan Tide Music Town. For a more relaxed trip, consider staying at Kaiyuan Yiju Holiday Manor (Haining Yanguan Tide-Watching Park Branch) to avoid rushing. 🌟Highlights: Tide-Watching Park is quite spacious with an elongated shape, featuring mainly tide-watching platforms. It also preserves traces left by historical figures who came to watch the tides here. Notable spots include the Xu Zhimo Watching Tides with Friends sculpture, Zhongshan Pavilion, Sanjie Pavilion, etc. Many national leaders have also visited here. 📝Important Notes: The tide-watching timing is very precise but varies daily. The best viewing is usually around the 1st and 15th of the lunar month when tides are more dramatic. Always check the schedule in advance.
