Golden and silver tidal waves, traveling in opposite directions, collided on the Qiantang River in east China’s Zhejiang Province on Wednesday, creating a rare spectacle resembling nature’s artistic masterpiece.
Spectacular scale-shaped and tree-shaped tidal bores drew eager spectators.
The tidal bores are formed by the rapid rise of tidal waters in the river channel, creating layer upon layer of undulating waves.
The Qiantang River is famous for having the largest tidal bores in the world, attracting hundreds of thousands of spectators every year.
