Zhejiang's nearest location to the United States is Japan. This is due to the geographical proximity between the two regions. Zhejiang, a coastal province in eastern China, is approximately 5,000 miles away from the United States. In contrast, Japan, which is located to the east of China, is about 6,200 miles away from the United States. However, when considering the shortest flight routes, Japan is the closest destination for travelers from Zhejiang to the United States. The distance between Zhejiang and Japan is approximately 2,000 miles, making it the nearest location in terms of travel time and convenience. According to data from the China民用航空局 (Civil Aviation Administration of China), there are regular flights between major cities in Zhejiang, such as Hangzhou and Ningbo, and cities in Japan, like Tokyo and Osaka, which further supports the claim that Japan is the nearest location to Zhejiang in the United States.
