Formed from the confluence of the Xinanjiang and Lanjiang [2] . In the upper reaches there is the Fuchunjiang [2] reservoir of the same name of a channel type with a length of 26.5 km [4] .
It flows through Hangzhou , the provincial capital, and flows into the Hangzhou Bay of the East China Sea .
The river is an important transport artery through which the north-eastern part of the country communicates with the sea.
The river is known for the largest tidal wave in the world. A tidal wave up to 9 meters high spreads up the river at a speed of up to 40 km / h, which sometimes leads to human casualties. [5] [6] A large tide is observed in the 8th month of the lunar calendar. [7]
In Hangzhou, the river connects to the southern end of the Great Channel of China .
