In November 2010, Haining was named as “a state-level hygiene city”. As Hainning is situated on the north bank of the Qiantang River and the coastline stretches 55.92 kilometers with the water area of 21,730 hectares, due to the unique geographical condition, Haining becomes famous for its magnificent Haining tide and becomes a tourist resort for watching Hainning tide, attracting an increasing number of tourists from home and abroad every year.
