The mountains in the territory mainly belong to Yunling Mountain and Nushan Mountain, and Diancang Mountain is located in the middle of the state, like an arch screen, towering and straight.

The Yangtze paraplatform area in the east, bounded by Erhai-Honghe deep fault in the west and extending into Chuxiong Prefecture in the east, is a part of the western margin of the Yangtze paraplatform. The Tibetan-Yunnan geosyncline fold area in the west is a vast area in the west and south of the state, bounded by Erhai-Honghe deep fault in the east and Nujiang and Lancang River valleys in the west, running through the state from north to south.
