| High tide at Qiantang River (1227 words) |
| Sitting at the tide-watching pavilion by the Qiantang River for the whole morning, sexagenarian Zhang Guizhi was still patiently waiting for the tide which was expected to come in at 2:25 pm. |
| The Qiantang River looks to be shaped like a trumpet at its mouth, while flowing east to Hangzhou Bay. |
| When the tide drove near to the hydrometric station about a mile from the pavilion, its southern part was suddenly pulling backward, and the waves beat and submerged the station with its full force and splashed into the air. |
