The total population of the city is 7.863 million.

Nantong belongs to the north subtropical monsoon climate zone, with mild climate, four distinct seasons, abundant rainfall and obvious maritime climate.

Nantong is formed by the continuous development and merger of ancient sand mouths on the north bank of the Yangtze River, which belongs to the alluvial plain in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. About 6 years ago, the Yangtze River water carried a large amount of sediment from the upstream and deposited in the estuary, from which Nantong became land and gradually extended from west to east and south. The geographical outline of the whole territory is longer in the east-west direction than in the north-south direction, surrounded by water on three sides and land reclamation on one side, which looks like an irregular rhombic shape. It consists of Langshan Canqiu District, Hai 'an Lixiahe District, North Shore Gushazui District, Tonglushui Ridge Plain, Nantong Guhe Branch Plain, Southern Plain and Continental Land, Sanyu Marine Plain and Coastal New Reclamation Area, etc.

Before Jin Dynasty, the urban area of Nantong was a river mouth sea area, and it became a sand state in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, first named Hudouzhou, and later named Hudouzhou. At the beginning of Sui Dynasty, it was a sandbar, belonging to Hailing County (now Taizhou), and in the Tang Dynasty, it was a salt pavilion. In the tenth year of Xuanzong's reign (722), a salt official was set up, belonging to Hailing County of Yangzhou and transferred to Huainan Road. In the second year of Tang Xizong's official career (875), he set up Langshan Town as an emissary, which was under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Xidao Our Mission. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (97-96), Wu Shi once set up the town of Jinghaidu in Dongzhou. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, Jinghaidu Town was established as a courtyard, and Rugao County was located in Taizhou, which lasted for half a century. In 958 AD, the northern Zhou Dynasty sent troops to the south, occupied the Jinghai, and was promoted to the Static Navy.
