Discover the Qiantang River, the mother river that has nurtured Hangzhou's civilization for millennia! The Qiantang Tidal Bore, hailed as the 'World's Number One Tide', transforms the river into a thundering spectacle every year around the 18th day of the 8th lunar month. By day, cycle along the Qiantang River Greenway where modern skyscrapers harmonize with natural beauty; by night, witness the river come alive with dazzling light shows. For the perfect photo op, head to the City Balcony - it offers breathtaking views of the Qiantang River against Hangzhou's iconic skyline!
