Watch Qiantang River's tidal bore crash against the shore
Description: One of the world's most impressive natural sights is the Qiantang River's tidal bore. This massive wave, which can reach up to 30 feet in height and achieve speeds of 25 mph, draws plenty of gawkers to watch it smash into the shore. While there are other tidal bores around the world, the Qiantang River is perhaps the best one to view. Evidence of it dates back at least 3,000 years. [Source: Mother Nature Network]
