Onlookers run away from huge waves from the &quot;Haining tide&quot; - a daily occurrence when the river tides hit the banks of the city in eastern China. The tides were surging higher than usual due to the influence of Typhoon Trami, the 12th typhoon to hit China this year. The storm brought rainstorms and wreaked havoc in eastern China after landing in Fujian Province early on August 22. The tides in Haining normally attract spectators for the past two millennia, and it is the scene of an annual Tide-Watching Festival in late summer.
