According to the "Zhejiang Provincial Greenway Network Planning (2021-2035), by 2035, the total scale of greenway has reached more than 30,000 kilometers, forming a comprehensive system of urban and rural greenway networks with perfect functions, balanced layout, intelligent operation and maintenance, diverse characteristics and diverse benefits. Recently, I went to the Hangzhou Binjiang Section of Zhejiang Greenway Line 1 on the Qiantang River and was a little shocked.

Qianjiang Qiutao is famous at home and abroad, and it has been popular in Tang and Song Dynasty. On the day of the tide, especially in the days before and after August 18, the road was like water and people were like tides. overlooking the horns of the Qiantang River to the sea, the tides formed a turbulent wave, like a thousand horses rushing. When the sand kan on the riverbed near Lipu was blocked, the tide wave lifted three to five meters high, and the tide difference reached nine to ten meters. There was indeed a "turbid wave drained out of the sky, and the river could be destroyed by the sea and mountains". Different locations, you can enjoy different tide scenes: tower bystand "first-line tide", eight castles to see "convergence tide", old salt warehouse can enjoy "return tide".
