Where is Qiantang River?

Qiantang River (formerly known as Zhejiang) is the largest river in Zhejiang Province and one of the famous rivers in China. Qiantang River originates from the east slope of Liugujian, the main peak of Huaiyushan Mountain in the southwest of Xiuning County, Anhui Province (elevation 1629.8m), at the junction of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces (it is said that Qiantang River originates from Lotus Point on the border of Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi), and the elevation at which it begins to form water flow is1350 m. The source is fengcun River, which flows from southwest to northeast, along Lushui River, Xin 'anjiang River, Tongjiang River, Fuchunjiang River and Qiantang River, and flows into Hangzhou Bay at the estuary (the junction of the south exit of Zhangpu, Haiyan and the west third door of Cixi).

605 kilometers. Qiantang River basin covers an area of 48,887 square kilometers, including 42,265 square kilometers in Zhejiang Province, which is distributed in Hangzhou, Quzhou, Jinhua, Shaoxing, Lishui and other cities (regions), including 26 counties (cities). Qiantang River flows through the five counties of Chun 'an, Jiande, Tonglu, Fuyang, Xiaoshan and Yuhang in Hangzhou and the urban area of Hangzhou, with a drainage area of about 13227 square kilometers, accounting for about 80% of the city's total area and a water area of about 84% of the city's water area.

The main stream of Qiantang River is in Hangzhou, which is generally called Xin 'an River above Jiande Meicheng and Tongjiang River, Fuchun River and Qiantang River below Meicheng.

Qiantang River. Below Yan Wen, water flows into Hangzhou Bay from downtown Hangzhou to Zhapu, and the river is long.

128km, of which Hangzhou is 74km long. The estuary is a huge trumpet. The distance between the north and south banks of the mouth of Hangzhou Bay is about100km, which is reduced to 20km at the mouth of Qiantang River and only 2.5km at Yan Guan, Haining. There is a huge sandbar uplift in the longitudinal section of the river bed, which rises upward from Zhapu with a slope of1.510000, reaches its peak near Cang Qian, and then extends to Yan Wen with a slope of 0.6/ 10000. Influenced by narrow river bundles and river bed uplift, tidal waves break up and rise, forming the world wonder "Qiantang River Tide". The channel of Qiantang River is changeable. During the Republic of China, its width was Qianjiang Bridge 1.2km, Xixing Wharf 2.05km, Qibao 3.5km and Yan Guan 1 1km. 1968 to 1985, the beaches on both sides of the river are reclaimed, and the river channel is narrowed. Its width is 65438±0.0km for Qianjiang Bridge, 65438 0.5 km for Xixing Wharf, 65438 0.5 km for Qibao, 65438±0.7km for Cang Qian, and 2.5 km for Yan Guan and Babao. Because of the high sandbars in the river bed of the estuary, ships of more than 300 tons need to wait for the high tide to go out to sea in the small flood season. The north shore can communicate with the Grand Canal through the Sanbao Lock (300 tons); Through Qibao Shiplock, Shangtang River can be communicated.
