The real source of Qiantang River is Liugujian, the main peak of Huaiyu Mountain. In 1980s, Zhejiang Province organized a scientific investigation team to make an in-depth on-the-spot investigation on Xin 'anjiang River, and determined that Qiantang River was Xin 'anjiang River, and its source was located at Liugujian, the main peak of Huaiyu Mountain at an altitude of more than l600 meters in Xiuning County, Anhui Province.
