East of Chongming Island is the East China Sea, while in the south, Chongming Island faces Pudong new area, Baoshan District in Shanghai and Taicang City in Jiangsu Province across the river. As a result, Chongming Island becomes a famous region where the cultivation of rice and the breeding of fish flourish. The whole island is flat in terms of terrain, with fertile soil, luxuriant forests and abundant resources. Now, it covers an area of 1267 square kilometers (126700 hectares), with a population of 635 thousand. Chongming Island has been in existence for more than 1300 years.
