The Jiulong River's Beixi cuts across the central part, dividing Zhangping into north and south halves. The terrain slopes from north to south to the central valley, taking on a saddle shape. The central part has relatively gentle valleys and hilly areas along both sides of the river.

The north is bounded by Xinqiao Creek, the east edge is the southwest slope of the southern end of the Daiyun Mountains, and the west edge is the southeast slope of the Tortoise Mountains. The two slopes face each other, forming the narrow Xinqiao River Valley.

To the east, two branches of Daiyun Mountain enter from Datian and Anxi, and extend southwest to the north bank of Jiulong River. Between the two branches, the Xinan River Valley is formed; to the west, the branch of Tortoise Mountain starts from Yong'an in the north. Entering the country, it branches into two branches and extends southward to the northern part of Nanyang. Between the two branches, Shuangyang River meanders southward, forming intermountain basins such as Chishui and Shuangyang.
