A few are above 1,400 meters. The third one is the Lotus Mountain range from Dapu through Huiyang to the place near Hong Kong. Many of the main peaks of this range are above 1,000 meters high. The less important mountain ranges are those that run from northwest in southeast direction. The Dadong Mountain, for example, which runs from Lianzhou to Shaoguang is usually 800 to 1,200 meters in height.

Plains and tablelands are mainly located along the coast in the south of the province or valleys in the middle or lower reaches of the rivers. Pearl River Delta Area and the Chaozhou-Shantou Plain are among the biggest ones. Except the mountainous area in the north of Guangdong, which belongs to mid-Asian subtropical monsoon climate, most areas of the province belong either to the south Asian subtropical climate or the tropic monsoon climate. So, Guangdong is an area with the richest sunlight, heat and water resources in the country. There is a quick conversion between energy and material.
