The ground slope is very gentle, with a slope of about 1 / 10000. It is mainly composed of low flat land, depression, micro highland, artificial dike and pond.

The ground is mainly composed of sandy clay and clay. Because the terrain is low and flat, the drainage is not smooth, the groundwater level is high, the shallow groundwater is salt water, and the soil salt content is high.
