Which city does Cixi City, Hangzhou City belong to?

Cixi City, Hangzhou City belongs to Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province.

It is 60 kilometers away from Ningbo in the east, 148 kilometers away from Shanghai in the north, and 138 kilometers away from Hangzhou in the west. It is the center of the economic golden triangle of Shanghai, Hangzhou and Ningbo in the southern wing of the Yangtze River Delta and around Hangzhou Bay. Cixi is rich in tidal flat resources. More than 100,000 acres of tidal flats have been reclaimed and developed. It is the area with the richest land reserve resources in Zhejiang Province.

Cixi has a long-standing celadon culture and is known as the birthplace of the “Maritime Ceramic Road”. “Southern Green and North White” laid the foundation for the pattern of Chinese ceramics. Cixi is also known as the "City of Home Appliances" and is one of the three major home appliance production bases in China along with Qingdao and Shunde. Cixi culture belongs to Wuyue culture, and Cixi people belong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang ethnic groups and speak Wu dialect.

Cixi is an important industrial and commercial city in the southern wing of the Greater Shanghai Economic Circle in the Yangtze River Delta region. It is also a coastal economic open zone approved by the State Council of China. The opening of the Hangzhou Bay Cross-Sea Bridge in 2008 has even narrowed the distance with Shanghai, making it a prime node city in the southern wing of the Yangtze River Delta.

Extended information

Cixi's terrain is high in the south and low in the north. It unfolds towards Hangzhou Bay in the form of three steps: hills, plains and tidal flats. The southern hills belong to the Cuipingshan hilly area, which is a remnant of the Siming Mountain. It runs east-west and stretches for more than 40 kilometers, accounting for about two-tenths of the Cixi city area.

The east end is a low hill, with an altitude of about 100 meters; the middle part is between 300 and 400 meters; to Shiyan Township, the strata subside into the Dongheng River; the western end of the river is 100 to 200 meters high. The main peaks include Dapeng Mountain, Wulei Mountain, Dalin Mountain, Laoyashan Mountain, and Donglushan Mountain. The highest peak, Laoyashan Taonaogang, is 446 meters above sea level. The formation has a single origin and is an erosion and denudation landform.

The plain is part of the Ningshao Plain, 55 kilometers long from east to west, accounting for about seven-tenths of the total area. The terrain slopes gently from west to east. The western area is higher in the north and lower in the south, and the eastern area is higher in the south and lower in the north. It is divided into two parts, the north and the south, with the Dagutang River as the boundary. The ratio of the two areas is 2:8.

The southern mountainous plain was formed between 900 and 2500 years ago. It was formed by the deposition of lacustrine and marine sediments in the late Holocene. The materials are mostly clay and sub-clay, with peat in some places. The northern coastal plain is a newly formed continental land since 900 years ago. Its composition consists of loamy clay, loamy sandy soil and silt sand.

To the north of the plain is the fan-shaped Sanbei Shoal protruding into Hangzhou Bay. In 1986, the map scale was calculated based on the zero-meter line of the theoretical datum, covering an area of ??433.5 square kilometers. The tidal flat sediments are composed of silty sand and sandy mud. Fine-grained matter dominates, with coarser particles in the eastern region. There is an obvious periodicity in the rise and fall of the coastal zone. The entire coastline is continuing to move northward, and land resources are increasing.
