It is located 125 kilometers west of Shanghai (30 mins by high speed rail), and some 60 kilometers (15 mins by high speed rail) east of the city of Hangzhou. To the south of Haining lies the famed Qiantang River. Haining is also home to many high level universities including the International Campus of Zhejiang University and ZUFE Dongfang College.

The International Qiantang River Tidal Bore Watching Festival is held each year in response to the increasing popularity of this recurring event. The festival takes place on the 18th day of the eighth lunar month.
