The salient features of Zhaoping County's landform are: rolling mountains, deep valleys, narrow flat land, high terrain in the northwest and low terrain in the southeast. The mountainous area in the territory accounts for 87.6% of the total area of the county, which is known as "Zhaoping Uneven": Zhongshan, which is more than 800 meters above sea level, is mainly distributed in the northwest, middle and east-west borders of the county, accounting for 2.7% of the total area; The low mountains of 500-800 meters are the main landform types in China, accounting for 32% of the total area, and are mostly distributed in villages such as Luo Fu, Jiulong, Fuyu, Longping and Masheng.
