The autonomous county has complex topography and diverse soil types. Changes in topography and altitude have caused the redistribution of surface water. In addition, differences in precipitation have deepened the differences in surface vegetation, so the distribution is also different. From south to north, the order is high mountains - sub-alpine mountains - middle mountains - low mountains - piedmont hills - alluvial (alluvial) sloping plains - fan edge overflow zones - high terraces - secondary terraces - Low terraces and floodplains.
