Giant River Wave Injures 30 Tourists - Raw Footage
The power of Typhoon Trami, whicch made landfall in east China's Fujian Province Thursday morning, was also felt in the tidal bore of Qiantang River in east China's Zhejiang Province.
The tidal bore arrived at Xiaoshan District of Zhejiang's capital city Hangzhou at 13:20 Thursday. Surging waves crashed along the bank and drenched observers.
I stood behind the warning line, but the tide almost swept my glasses away, said an observer.
The tide arrived at Jiuxi in central Hangzhou at 14:30. Despite lessening in strength a bit, the tidal surge still hit the bank and caused a seven-meter-high massive wave.
The wave was about three stories high. It almost reached the top and you can still see the water mark. It is a lot stronger than August 18 last year, said Li Yaling, a local observer.
According to the Hangzhou Hydrology Bureau, the morning wave on Thursday was 1.8 meters high, marking the biggest tide bore of 2013.

2009 GSM Surfing China Festival - Hangzhou - Episode 2
Gerard Sports Marketing (GSM) returns to China--bringing the sport of surfing to the Chinese people once again.
Everyday--twice a day--in the City of Hangzhou (pronounced han-joe), a tidal bore wave rolls upstream on the Qiantang (pronounced kwin-tang) River. And each year, in September, the wave is at its largest.
To witness this awesome sight, hundreds of thousands of Chinese people come to the annual Wave Watching Festival in Hangzhou. And this year, GSM and its Chinese partners have expanded the footprint and scope of the annual gathering to the brand new CBD district in the City of Hangzhou. In addition to world class surfers on the river, events include a skatepark, expo area, SUP pool, and live fashion show featuring Billabong and Quiksilver.
Last year, we demonstrated to the Chinese government that surfing on the river was feasible... and that the idea of broadening the annual festival to include surfing was a good one. This year we delivered!
The 2009 surfing festival in Hangzhou was a huge success. The event was a feature story on the Chinese national news channel (CCTV)--and was viewed by approximately 1/2 the entire Chinese population!
Stay tuned for updates regarding GSM's ongoing efforts develop the sport, lifestyle, and business of surfing in China!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
