Thousands of people watched the tidal bore of Qiantang River in China. The one-line tide is a special tidal bore that rolls forward. It moves at the same speed and creates a straight line. The phenomenon usually starts at the beginning of the eighth month.
The natural wonder attracts many surfers and tourists.
Difficult words: tidal (relating to a tide which is the rising and falling of the sea), bore (wave caused by the meeting of two tides), phenomenon (something which happens in the nature).
