This is the Silver Dragon tidal bore on the Qiantang River in China.
A bore occurs when the leading edge of an incoming tide creates a wave that surges up a river.
Tide watching is a Chinese tradition of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on a full moon.
This year's tide was higher than usual after the recent Typhoon Bebinka -
the strongest storm to hit Shanghai in 75 years, according to state media.
