Donxing Town is build on both sides of the river bank of Xiaohuangjiang (Chinese: 小环江) river, commonly known as Zhongzhouhe (Chinese: 中洲河), a river with great importance for the economy and agriculture of Dongxing but which faces concerning levels of pollution and flooding in the last decade. People are often seen fishing on boats or from the river bank, while during the Dragon Boat Festival, the river is a source of festive events and family gatherings. Because the town is built on both sides of the river, it is linked by a 50m long bridge which is due to be replaced, and connects the central road of Dongxing with Dongxing Village. The town features a wet market, a kindergarten and a grade school, a small public park, many street vendors for outdoor barbecue and hotels.
