It belongs to the north subtropical humid monsoon climate zone, with four distinct seasons, long frost-free period, sufficient heat and abundant precipitation; Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, National Highway 328, Ningqi Railway and five sea passages connecting the Yangtze River and Jiangsu meet here.

geographical environment

Hailing District is bounded by Toarey Yang Highway, which belongs to He Lixia Plain in the north and Yangtze River Delta Plain in the south. Its geological age is covered by Quaternary sediments. The bedrock 400- 1400 meters below the ground is a basalt "buried hill", which is a part of the Yangtze paraplatform and belongs to Cenozoic.

The foundation structure layers in China are completely different due to different genetic types. Due to the different standard values of bearing capacity of the upper foundation soil, it can be generally divided into four engineering geological areas: good area, soft soil area, miscellaneous fill area and bad area. The whole area is flat, high in the south and low in the north, mostly flat in the south, with dense river networks in the north. The ground elevation is 2.6-5.5 meters, and the highest point of Yuefu is 20.28 meters above sea level.
