The Qiantang River is known for its tides. After the tide goes out, the river reveals its most artistic side. The water and mud work together in a grand way—over millions of years, the flowing water patiently shapes the mudflats. The sunlight acts like a skilled painter, giving the surface a golden-brown shine. On these short-lived natural canvases, winding channels stretch like veins. Spiral-shaped layers of sediment show the rhythm of the tides, while cracked mud patterns seem to freeze the passing of time.
