Extended information

The terrain of Zhejiang slopes in a stepped manner from southwest to northeast. The southwest is dominated by mountains, the central part is dominated by hills, and the northeast is a low alluvial plain. It can be roughly divided into six terrain areas: the northern Zhejiang plain, the western Zhejiang hills, the eastern Zhejiang hills, the central Jinqu Basin, the southern Zhejiang mountains, the southeastern coastal plains and coastal islands.

The alluvial plains with dense water networks in northern Zhejiang, the coastal hills in eastern Zhejiang, the mountainous areas in southern Zhejiang, and the island landforms of Zhoushan City can be said to be full of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. The southwest is mostly composed of mountains over 1,000 meters high. Among them, Huangmaojian, located in Longquan, is the highest peak in Zhejiang Province with an altitude of 1,929 meters.
