Astaneh-e Ashrafiyyeh is a major peanut, rice, silk, and fragrant medicinal herbs producing town. It lies close to the town of Rasht and the Caspian Sea. Mausoleum of Seyed Jalal od-Din Ashraf, brother of Imam Reza, as well as the tomb of Dr. Mohammad Moin, the Iranian lexicographer and compiler of Persian Dictionary, are located here.

The town has an estimated population of around 50,000. The great Sepidrud river crosses the town on the northwest side. The main highway connecting the eastern and western parts of the province passes through Astaneh, over a ~1Km long bridge.
