The coastline is 582 kilometers long with a total area of 453,300 hectares, of which the core area is 1.74 million hectares, and the land ownership is protected. The headquarters of the reserve is located in Xinyang Port Town, 54 kilometers east of Yancheng City. Yancheng office of the reserve is located at No.0/73 Jianjun East Road (in front of Daxing Primary School on the east side of the New Fourth Army Memorial Hall).

It mainly protects rare wild animals such as red-crowned cranes and their habitats, namely the tidal flat wetland ecosystem. The nature reserve is flat, with an altitude of 0-4m and a mild climate. Annual average temperature 13.7- 14.6℃, frost-free period 2 10-224 days, rainfall 980- 1070mm, solar radiation 165438+. In ancient history, both the Yellow River and the Yangtze River once entered the sea at the north and south ends of the reserve. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River carry a lot of sediment to form the abandoned Yellow River Delta. The northern coast of the reserve is eroded, and the siltation time in the central and southern parts is long. 900 hectares of land are deposited every year in the whole region. The beach is narrow in the north and wide in the south, with a width of 15km. The reserve is the main catchment area of Lixia River, and more than ten rivers flow through the reserve into the sea. Such as Guanhe, Zhongshan River, Biandan Port, Sheyang River, Huangsha Port, Xinyang Port, Doulong Port, Wanggang Port, Zhugang Port, Chuandong Port, Liangduo River and Xingang Port. It is rainy in summer, and after the upper reaches of the river discharge, floods and droughts often occur in beaches in winter. In dry years, the tide level is low, and beaches are mostly underdeveloped due to lack of water. ? The biogeographic location of the reserve is located in the Huanghuai Plain subregion of Palaearctic North China, and the northern part is adjacent to the eastern North China. Animals and plants are mainly temperate.
