The Mid-Autumn Festival is a blessing, with beautiful scenery and elegance. Climbing high to admire the moon, hanging lanterns on a cruise ship, drinking wine and praying are all common activities for Chinese people to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. In Zhejiang, watching the tide in Qiantang is also an indispensable custom. With the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the annual Qiantang River tide has also ushered in the best viewing period. The tides of August and eighteen are unparalleled in the world. At this time, the wind carries layers of waves in the river, and the waves push the tide over the mountains. The head of the tide approaches from far away, and in an instant it is like a galloping horse.
“Tide” surges into Mid-Autumn Festival
Yanguan Scenic Area creates a multi-dimensional tide watching experience
At the Yanguan Tide Watching Point in Haining, Zhejiang Province, “Mid-Autumn Tide Watching” has long been integrated into the local people’s reunion memories. This year, Yanguan Scenic Area has created a new multi-dimensional cultural tourism experience for tourists.
Headquarters reporter Xia Zhou:In the tourist area where people wait and watch tides, the Qiantang River has returned to calm today, but just over three hours ago, it was a completely different scene.
Headquarters reporter Xia Zhou:Today’s Qiantang tide arrived at Yanguan Scenic Area around 11:35. The entire Tide Watching Park was filled with tourists. Everyone entered the park early in order to find the best tide viewing angle and witness the grand tide scene.
Headquarters reporter Xia Zhou:Today’s Qiantang River tide lived up to expectations and appeared in front of everyone with a rolling tide. Data shows that the average daily passenger flow of the entire scenic spot during this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival will exceed 30,000. In the past, there was a popular guide among tourists here – “Watch the tide at Yanguan Scenic Area in the morning, eat fish head soup at noon, and go to the Leather City to buy leather clothes in the afternoon.” But today, a new cultural tourism model belonging to Yanguan is emerging.
Tide watching + music
New gameplay unlocks new consumption
Headquarters reporter Xia Zhou:In addition to tide watching, in Yanguan, the “tide watching +” model is emerging, such as “tide watching + music”. This year, the trend can add an “emotional value”. In the Guanchao Park, performers from the Jiaxing Dachao Philharmonic Orchestra played a song “May People Live Longer”.
In the past, tourists would leave after watching the tide, staying only three to four hours per person. But this year, the scenic spot specially launched a music carnival, cultural and creative market, intangible cultural heritage market, etc. Many tourists who like music came here to check in. Tourists slowed down, stopped, and stayed, which also led to an upgrade in consumption. For example, it’s hard to find a room in a music-themed hotel.

Experience multiple upgrades
Headquarters reporter Xia Zhou:Tonight’s Yanguan “night tide” arrival time is expected to be around 11:30 p.m. If Yanguan is bustling with people during the day, it is simple and elegant after nightfall. If you have enough time, you can stroll along the Fish Scale Pond and gaze out at the shadowy river surface with your family; with the arrival of the night tide, the limited light show of Zhan’ao Tower will also return.
