The Qiantang River tidal bore, a natural wonder, has lured numerous enthusiasts to Haining City in east China's Zhejiang Province, to capture the mesmerizing spectacle of the ever-changing tides.
A tidal bore is a phenomenon where the leading edge of an incoming tide creates a wave that surges up a river against the flow.
The Qiantang River boasts the world's largest tidal bore, and is called the "Silver Dragon" by locals.
Tide-watching has become a grand folk tradition during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on Tuesday this year.
These enthusiasts have not only captured the stunning scenes of the tides, but also given them vivid names based on their distinct features.
"The crossing tide is more captivating, with two or even three tidal currents merging together. There is also the legendary dragon-scale tide, where the tide water resembles the upturned scales of a dragon," said Pan Linglong, an enthusiast.
"The tides come in different forms. For example, I've captured the crossing tide, the surging tide, and the dragon head tide. Photographing the tides is like unwrapping a surprise gift. The tide appearance changes from day to day and is fleeting. Once captured, the experience can be truly breathtaking," said He Bin, another enthusiast.
