The county borders on the Yellow Sea in the East and North, across the sea from Japan and South Korea; it faces the Yangtze River in the south, with a straight-line distance of about 40 kilometers, close to Tongzhou District of Nantong City; it connects the inland areas of the Yangtze River Basin in the west, bordering Rugao City; and it connects the Lixiahe plain of Suzhong in the northwest, adjacent to Hai'an County.

topographic features

Rudong has a flat terrain, slightly inclined from the southwest to the southeast, with an elevation of 4.0-5.0 meters in the northwest and about 3.2 meters in the southeast. Rudong is a typical coastal plain, which is divided into three types: delta plain, marine plain and ancient lagoon plain. Delta plain is mainly distributed in the central area of the county, west of Changsha to zuegang line, south of fangongdi line (West of Changsha) and north of Rutai canal (West of zuegang line); ancient lagoon plain is mainly distributed in the south of the county, west of zuegang to sunyao line, south of Rutai canal; marine plain mainly refers to the coastal area outside fangongdi.

At the beginning of the Republic of China, Zhang Jian and others organized reclamation in the coastal areas of Rudong, which greatly improved the water conservancy conditions in the coastal areas. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, Rudong continued to organize more than 20 times of reclamation, forming a large area of new land outside the original Fangong dyke.

Marine beach

For example, the east coast belongs to the Southern Yellow Sea area, and the coastal area belongs to the scope of Lvsi fishing ground. From south to north, it is called Lanshayang and huangshhayang respectively. The surface of the ocean and the coastal radial sandbars are linked and crisscrossed, forming large and small waterways. Lanshayang channel and huangshayang channel are the main tidal channels along Rudong coast, which have the conditions of deep-water navigation and port construction. Among them, the West taiyangsha on the south side of the north channel of langshayang was transformed into an artificial island Sunshine Island.

For example, the East coastline is connected with broad land beaches, and sandbars are scattered in the coastal waters. Jiangjiasha and Zhugensha are the larger sandbanks outside the northern coastline; the natural cover of minnow sand, qiaerganzi, Fugu sand, taiyangsha, dahonggenzi and Martian sand are scattered around the sunshine island off the northeast coast; the eastern coastline is connected with yaosha and lengjiasha.

For example, the tides along the east coast fluctuate twice in 24 hours. Generally, the early tides are called tides and the late tides are called Xi tides. At the same tide, Yangkou sluice usually arrives about 30 minutes earlier than Dong'an sluice. When the north wind and the northeast wind start, the time of the tide is often advanced; when the autumn tide starts with the storm, the wind means the tide. The flood season in the Mid Autumn Festival of a year is very strong, so it is said to be "horse racing on August 16".
