World's Largest Tidal Bore Forms in China's Qiantang River
Thousands of tourists gathered in Haining City of east China's Zhejiang Province to appreciate the world's largest tidal bore at the Qiantang River around the traditional Mid Autumn Festival holiday from Thursday to Saturday.
The Qiantang River tidal bore is a world-renowned natural phenomenon known for its momentum and charm caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. The best time to view the tidal bore is between the 15th and 18th day of the eighth month on the Chinese lunar calendar, exactly the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Due to the Typhoon Meranti and Malakas, the tidal bore this year is higher than those of previous years.
The nine-meter-high and 650-meter-long Laoyancang Dam, 12 kilometers west of Guanxi Town, is a best site to view the majestic scene. Tide, galloping like horses, hits against the dam and retreats after rising in the air, creating one of the two eye-catching scenes of the tidal bore, namely "back-flow bore."
The back-flow bore then hits the seawall with the water rising up to 15 meters high, which is another unique scene known as "soaring bore." More on: www.cctvplus.com/news/20160917...

It took a lot of deaths, though, before they started forcing people to stand waaaay back from the riverbanks.

Simply amazing.
Impressive!
And the crown goes crazy, 1:05 Sick left barrel Off a little wedg're from the jetty, cool little set up 00:40 to 1:05 before the barrel, set up.
I just went & checked. The tidal bore is in Nova Scotia, not Maine. It happens in the Bay of Fundy & there are many tours to see it. The tide goes out for 3 hours so you have 3 hours to search the bottom of the ocean. These tidal bores do happen in other parts of the world too! This sounds like the Quitiang tidal bore in China. Tidal bores can travel up to 25 MPH! Cool stuff!
Imagine you are accidentally on the shallow water or beach without knowing it is at its low tide and you now see the tidal tsunami raid you.
Wow-AMAZING! I've seen the bore tide in Alaska's Turnagain Arm many times, but this a something else again.
I could watch this all day.

Qiantang River's tides! I missed it every time I went to Zhejiang. Oh well, at least I tasted the tasty hairy crabs there and visited the beautiful West Lake and Chinese gardens in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

You can imagine the earth without water, water balances the shape of the earth, and its revolving or orbiting around its self, and the sun. Ebb and tide are considered as a safety vale for the earth, and its rotation. Earth with water slows its revolving... The water increased because of the melting of ice caps of polars and Himalayas, therefore the force of revolving increases too... NOW:The length of the year now is [ 365 1/4 +_(2 minutes )]...

Bore is a wave caused by tides.....is it correct???
@TribusMontibus
2 жыл бұрын
Yes, it is correct. Tidal bores occur in estuaries where a relatively large tidal water level difference is forces up a shallowing sea floor. They are even more concentrated when 'wedged' by shoreline geometry. In a few river entrances around the world they can create waves which reach far inland.
I wish the whole world spoke one language. It would save lots of time and probably a lot of life's.

ewartlambert You are right but that is going to take a long time. If we encourage one language it would speed it up a bit. People get along better when they can communicate. I moved people in Miami Florida I had to try and communicate with a different language every day. There was one thing that was universel and that's the 🖕. People would throw the bird because they couldn't communicate. It would be a good move for sure.
