Qiantang River runs from the west to Hangzhou
Bay in the east of Zhejiang Province.
It plays an important part in the water-transportation between the east and the
west. It is encircled by a group of economically booming cities including Hangzhou, and Ningbo.

is a world known natural wonder caused by the gravitational pull of the stars
and planets, as the Sun, Moon and Earth are on the line. The
centrifugal force produced by the rotation of the earth and by the peculiar
bottleneck shape of Hangzhou
Bay makes it easy for the
tide to come in, but difficult for it to ebb.
