It slopes slowly from north to south, and the north is higher than the south, with a difference of 0.6 meters. The ground endurance is 8-12T per square meter. Qidu Town was a swamp in ancient times. Tiaoxi river water with sediment flowed eastward and accumulated over time, forming an alluvial plain.
