Taiyuan is located in east longitude 111 ° 30 '- - 11 3 ° north latitude 32 ° 27' - - 38 ° 25 'between the central plateau is located in Shanxi, Taiyuan basin, northern end. The most strength is about 107 kilometers north and south from east to west at its widest point is about 144 kilometers, with a total up to 563 kilometers Xinjiang, with a total area of 6988 square kilometers. Bird's-eye view of Taiyuan topography, east, west, north surrounded by the mountain, heavy undulating mountain ranges, ravines interspersed during; in the southern part of Fen River Valley alluvial fan and fan the impact of plain, fertile land, Maek Qian thousands of miles. The main tributary of the Yellow River Fen, immigration in the western mountains between the whistling from the east into the valley plain from north to south, after going north-south throughout the country. The whole terrain from north to south, and gradually tilt. In Taiyuan 6988 square kilometers of land, mountains and hills dominated, accounting for about four-fifths of the total area; plains of Sichuan to only one-fifth. Elevation above sea level are significant differences between the highest point up to 2760 meters above sea level, the lowest point is only 760 meters above sea level, with an average height of about 800 meters above sea level. Is about 168 square kilometers of Taiyuan City, is located in the Fen River 2 River elevation of 780 - - 800 meters of plain valley floor. Taiyuan is the north temperate zone continental monsoon climate. Since this complex and diverse terrain, elevation vary widely, together with the eastern mountains block the impact of marine climate on the inside, so all kinds of terrain, such as mountains, hills, valleys, plains, etc., temperature, frost, precipitation, sunshine and other weather factors regard, the vary significantly, feature obvious form of four regional climate, the basin warm climate zones, hills and moderate climate zones, mountain and alpine cold climate zones Wenliang climatic zones. Temperature, in general, the year, elevation 900 meters below the basin, warm climate zones, the annual average temperature of 10-12 degrees; elevation of 900-1200 meters in hilly moderate climate zones, the annual average temperature is 8-10 degrees; elevation of 1200-1500 meters temperature cold mountain climate zones, the annual average temperature of 6-8 degrees, the altitude of 1500-1800 meters above the alpine cold climate zones, the annual average temperature of 2-5 degrees. Frosty, terrain and temperature differences, also resulted in Taiyuan area "frosty and activities of the accumulated temperature" in a variety of differences. Ordinary year, the plains the annual average frost-free period 165-175 days; hills and mountains of frost-free period of around an annual average of 120 days; alpine areas is only about 100 days. Moreover, the initial and final frosty frosty period varies widely. Ordinary year in the mountains in September and late October on the plains, respectively, into the frosty period in mid-, a difference of 30-40 days. End frosty plains around late April, but in the mountainous area around mid-May, a difference of more than 20 days. Precipitation, Taiyuan area for many years an average of about 461 millimeters of precipitation, however, from year to year changes in precipitation intensity and amount of water is high. For example: up to 749 millimeters of precipitation in 1969, and 1972 was only 216 mm, a difference of more than 533 millimeters. Moreover, the annual precipitation distribution is very uneven. From the time of distribution, Dongmochunchu occasion at least, with an average annual precipitation is only 12-15 mm, the average annual amount of only 3.1%. The highest in summer and compete up to 280 mm, accounting for annual average volume of over 60%. From the regional distribution point of view, the greater the elevation the higher the rainfall. Mountain above 1,300 meters above sea level, the annual average precipitation of 500 mm or more, plain-chuan in the 380-420 mm, while the low, narrow valley less gully area, the annual average rainfall of only 320-350 mm. Sunshine, Taiyuan area relatively abundant sunlight throughout the year, amounting to about 2556.3-2872.6 hours of sunshine, sunshine percentage of 60% or more, the annual radiation total 132.4 kcal / cm. Under normal year, with the highest percentage of sunshine in January, generally up to 63-78%. And seven, in August although the longer daylight hours, but it coincided with rainy season, sunshine percentage is about 50%. In the sunshine of the distribution, due to topographical differences, the higher elevation areas of sunshine hours and the higher percentage.

Taiyuan, surface water, including two aspects, namely, the ground by the local flow (including sewage) and capacity of water (defined as outside the region into the surface water in this area). According to survey information and geological departments, local ground through the flow of 227 million cubic meters of water supply capacity of 157 million cubic meters of water Fenhe, Xiao River and other rivers and canals of water supply 011 million cubic meters. A total of 516 million cubic meters of surface water. Groundwater extraction volume is 516 million cubic meters, of which 306 million cubic meters of pore water, karst fissure water, 210 million cubic meters. Surface water and groundwater 2 911 billion cubic meters. Taiyuan, rich in mineral resources, there are many kinds.
