Shaoxing is famous at home and abroad for its dense rivers and numerous lakes.

Affected by the trend of mountains and subtropical monsoon climate, rivers generally have the characteristics of large flow, seasonal variation of water level, two flood seasons a year, abundant hydraulic resources in the upper reaches and many tides in the lower reaches.

The main rivers flowing into Qiantang River are Cao 'e River, Puyang River and Jianhu River. The East Zhejiang Canal runs through the north from east to west, connecting the north and south rivers and interweaving into a river network system with high river network density in the northern plain. In addition, some rivers and streams in Shangyu belong to Yongjiang River system, and a small part of Zhuji belongs to Huyuan River, which flows directly into Fuchun River through Fuyang.

For example:

Qiaofeng River: an important tributary of Puyang River, it consists of Queerqiao River (left and right flow), Qiaofeng River (Huangtanxi) and Koizumi River (Daganxi). In the middle is Qiaofeng River, on the left is Oak Forest River, and on the right is Koizumi River. The upper reaches are all mountain streams and rivers, and the lower reaches are tidal reaches. The main stream of Qiao Feng originates from the northern foot of Longtougang at the junction of Zhuji and Shengxian, with a total length of 25 kilometers. The total drainage area is 432 square kilometers.

Huangtongjiang River: Originated at the southern foot of Wu Yunling, Ziyun Township, Zhuji, it flows eastward through Zhaitou, Daluyang, Huang Tong and other villages, flows into Jianshan Town, Xiaoshan, and joins Puyang River. The source is 52 kilometers long (46 kilometers in China) and the drainage area is 180 square kilometers (China 160 square kilometers).

East Zhejiang Canal: From Hangzhou Sambo in the east to Zhenhai in the east, it flows into the East China Sea. It is an integral part of the Grand Canal in China, connecting Qiantang River and Yongjiang River from west to east. Entering from Qian Qing in the west, passing through Ke Qiao, Shaoxing, Gaobu, Yan Tao, Dongguan and Cao E, leaving the country at Changbamen in Yiting. China's river network water system composed of Xiaoshao Canal is also called Sanjiang Water System (called Jinghu Water System in ancient times).
