The highest point of the city is Gaoyang Mountain, which is located at the junction of Haiyan and Haining. The city is a shallow dish-shaped depression near Taihu Lake, and the terrain is generally inclined from southeast to northwest. Due to thousands of years of human reclamation and development, the plain is divided by criss-crossing ponds and canals, and fields, land and water are interlaced, forming a three-dimensional topographic structure of "six fields, one water and three points". Mulberry is planted in dry land, grain is grown in paddy field, and fish is raised in lakes. The artificial landform is obvious and the characteristics of water towns are rich.

Jiaxing City is located in the southern edge of the north subtropical zone, belonging to the East Asian monsoon region, with alternating winter and summer monsoon, four distinct seasons, moderate temperature, abundant rain and sunshine, with the characteristics of wet spring, hot summer, dry autumn and cold winter. Because it is located in the middle latitude, the hot and humid weather in summer is much shorter than the dry and cold weather in winter.
