Located south of Haining City is the Qiantang River where each September tidal waves from the East China Sea surge dramatically up river. This Sunday saw a rare spectacle when the tide split and then reunited at the Jiaxing-Shaoing bridge.<br /><br />The roaring tide surged in a Y shape and moved across the bridge after the tides merged.<br /><br />A one-line tide also surged against dikes producing "sounds of hoofs of thousands of horses in chorus" and an "unparalleled spectacle" as described by ancient Chinese poets.<br /><br />Each year, thousands of tourists from around the world thrill to the sight, even more so this year with the unusual meeting of the cross tides.<br /><br />For more news and videos visit ☛ http://english.ntdtv.com<br />Follow us on Twitter ☛ http://twitter.com/NTDTelevision<br />Add us on Facebook ☛ http://on.fb.me/s5KV2C
