🚗Transportation: Self-driving or cycling, no public transportation 👍️Must-visit attractions: Sculpture Park, Tide Watching 🎟️Ticket information: None 💗Other tips: Free wild parking lot, no formal dining places nearby, guerrilla vendors selling water, fried rice, and fried noodles Anyone who has attended elementary school would know about the Qiantang Tide, which is very famous. Besides the official tide-watching spot at Yanguan, Dingqiao Great Gap is also a good place. Compared to Yanguan, there are fewer people here and no charges, making it suitable for self-driving tours. The title mentions the Sculpture Park for a reason: I perfectly missed the tide time. To avoid a wasted trip, I checked out the sculptures under the scorching sun. The stainless steel sculptures looked quite beautiful against the sun and blue sky, making them great for photo shoots. It would be even better if it weren't summer. To watch the tide, you need to plan your time. From the 1st to the 5th and the 15th to the 20th of each lunar month, you should arrive at the riverside around 11 a.m., pushing back half an hour each day. The times on the 1st and 15th are the same. This information was gathered from nearby vendors. After this time, you will only see the calm Qiantang River. The Great Gap area has turned the original Wengjin Road into a park. There are many trees, so even under the scorching sun, it won't be too hot while walking along the road. There is a service station and a four-wheel bicycle rental point at the entrance.
