Haining Chao - Kaining Chao

…The part of the river that transitions from the mouth to Hangzhou Bay was previously wider, but it took on its present trumpet-like shape due to the extension of the Yangtze River delta from the north and changes in tides. As a result, at high tide, the tide and river water collide, causing a tsunami, which reaches its peak in August every year and is called the Qiantang Tide or Haining Tide. It has been sung about in poetry and painted by literati since ancient times, and is still a tourist attraction today. [Akiyama Motohide]. …
