Where is the source of Qiantang River?

The source of Qiantang River is Xin'an River in the north and Majianxi in the south.

Qiantang River, formerly known as Zhejiang, is also known as Zhejiang, Zhijiang and Luoshajiang. The Fuyang section of Zhejiang is generally called Fuchun River, and the lower reaches of Zhejiang in Hangzhou is called Qiantang River. Qiantang River was first mentioned in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" because it flows through the ancient Qiantang County. It is one of the main birthplaces of Wuyue culture.

Qiantang River is the largest river in Zhejiang Province. It was the source of the name of Liangzhe Road in the Song Dynasty and the source of the name of Zhejiang Province when it was established in the early Ming Dynasty. Starting from the Xin'an River, its source in the north, the river is 588.73 kilometers long. Starting from the Majianxi, the upper reaches of the Qujiang River, its source in the south, the river is 522.22 kilometers long. From its source, it flows through the southern part of Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province today, with a basin area of ​​55,058 square kilometers, and flows into the East China Sea through the Hangzhou Bay.

The Qiantang River tide is known as the best tide in the world and is one of the world's natural wonders.
