Xiaowutai Mountain is located in the southeast of Zhangjiakou City, spanning Yu County and Zhuolu County. It is named Little Wutai Mountain because it has five prominent peaks in the east, west, south, north and middle, which is different from Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province. Its geographical location is 11450-11515 east longitude, 3940-4010 north latitude, 40 kilometers wide from east to west, and 45 kilometers long from north to south.

Xiaowutai Mountain was formed during the Yanshan Movement in the Mesozoic Era. In addition to some sedimentary rocks, there are also a large number of medical rocks and a small amount of metamorphic rocks. Its highest peak, Dongtai, is 2882M above sea level. The peaks are steep and the valleys are exposed. The climate of Xiaowuhe Mountain belongs to the warm temperate continental monsoon zone. Due to the influence of mountains, the climate is characterized by northern mountainous areas. There are large temperature differences throughout the year, heavy and concentrated precipitation, strong winds, cold, long freezing periods, and short frost-free periods. The Xiaowutai Mountain Area is relatively rich in water resources, and there are streams and rivers in the main valleys. The five main bees become natural watersheds. The water from the north and west platforms flows into Yanghe River. The water from the south and middle platforms flows into the Huliu River. The water from Dongtai flows into the Juma River.

The vegetation type in the Xiaowutai Mountain area is summer green broad-leaved forest. Due to the high mountains and significant vertical climate differentiation, the vegetation, soil and vertical belt spectrum are relatively complete, and there are many types of vegetation communities. However, due to continuous development in the past 200 years, the vegetation has been repeatedly destroyed, and the original forest has disappeared. Now it is natural secondary vegetation. It was established as a provincial nature reserve in 1983 with an area of ??22,107 hectares.

There are many kinds of plants in the Xiaowutai Mountain area, with about 674 species of higher plants, including about 185 species of woody plants and 622 species of herbaceous plants. There are species endemic to Xiaowutai Mountain: Xiaowutai Ziying, Xiaowutai Fengmaju, Chinese Fengmaju, etc.; there are also rare North China plants such as stink fir and juniper. With the change of altitude, the distribution of vegetation vertical band spectrum is obvious.
