There is a sea in Taizhou, Zhejiang.

Taizhou, a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Province, is located on the central coast of Zhejiang Province and borders the East China Sea to the east. It is a coastal city so it has access to the sea.

As of 2017, Taizhou has jurisdiction over 3 municipal districts, 3 county-level cities, and 3 counties. It is surrounded by mountains and the sea, with the terrain sloping from west to east, and mountains in the northwest. In summer, it is controlled by tropical ocean air masses. Hot and rainy, it is a tropical climate.

In winter, controlled by polar continental air masses, the weather is warm and cool, with subtropical climate characteristics. The land area is 9,411 square kilometers; the main road network for domestic highway transportation is the Shenhai Expressway. In 2017, the permanent population was 6.118 million.

Taizhou is a "water" town in the south of the Yangtze River, and water passes through the city. Historically, Taizhou has a "dense network of rivers and branches", and the charm of the water town is no less than that of Suzhou and Hangzhou. There is a saying that "it is better to travel through Suzhou and Hangzhou than to Wenhuang".

Taizhou is well-known at home and abroad for the origin of Buddhism and is the birthplace of the Tiantai Sect of Buddhism and the Southern Sect of Taoism. Tiantai Mountain, with its profound cultural connotation, has given birth to a broad and profound "Hehe Culture". Taizhou is the epitome of Zhejiang’s “seven mountains, one water and two fields”, and is an ecologically blessed land where mountains, seas and water are harmonious.

The coast of Taizhou, Zhejiang is the East China Sea.

Hangzhou Bay is the largest bay in the East China Sea. The rivers flowing into the East China Sea include the Yangtze River, Qiantang River, Minjiang River and Zhuoshui River. There are more than 40 rivers in the mainland that flow into the East China Sea, with a length of more than 100 kilometers. Among them, the Yangtze River, Qiantang River, Oujiang River, and Minjiang River are the main rivers that flow into the East China Sea.

As a result, the East China Sea has formed a huge low-salt water system and has become a relatively rich nutrient-rich water area in China's offshore waters, with a salinity of more than 34‰. Because the East China Sea is located in the subtropical zone, the annual average water temperature is 20℃-24℃, and the annual temperature difference is 7℃-9℃.

The vast continental shelf of the East China Sea has a flat seabed, excellent water quality, and the intersection of various water masses, providing good breeding, feeding, and overwintering conditions for various fish. It is China's most important good fishing ground, rich in large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, hairtail, cuttlefish, etc. The fishing grounds near the Zhoushan Islands are known as the treasure house of marine fish in China.
