Storyline: Exclusive footage from China Media Group (CMG) showed the magnificent view of dinghies racing against the tidal bore on the Qiantang River in east China's Zhejiang Province on Monday. The video shows the crest of the tide appears as a curved belt spans the river. When large tides pass by, they stir up the sediment at the riverbed and carry it forward due to the highly undulating terrain at the bottom of the river. When observing the tide up close, people experience an oppressive feeling from the waves. This is also one of the biggest differences from watching the tide from the shore. The best time to witness the Qiantang River tidal bore typically falls between the 15th and 18th days of the eighth lunar month. This year, the peak is expected on Thursday, when the waves will reach their most spectacular scale. Shotlist: Haining City, Zhejiang Province, east China - Oct 6, 2025: 1.
