On September 22, a group of tourists found themselves in an unexpected predicament while watching the famous Qiantang River tide in Hangzhou, eastern China. In a sudden and dramatic turn of events, a massive wave surged forward, catching some spectators off guard and knocking them down. Fortunately, all those involved emerged unscathed from the incident.

According to the videographer who captured the event, the tide's behavior was atypical for the area. Normally, the water does not reach the spot where the tourists were standing. However, it is believed that strong winds on that particular day intensified the water's momentum, leading to the unusual occurrence.

9月22日，浙江杭州，有游客在围观钱塘江大潮时，躲避不及被突如其来的巨浪拍倒，所幸没有受伤。
视频拍摄者介绍，正常情况下潮水是不会上到这个位置的，可能是当天有风，对水势产生了助力，所幸人都没事儿。
