The peak is like Pingchuan, about 8 to 10 kilometers wide and 40 to 50 kilometers long.

The prominent features of the landscape resources are: high: Majian mountain is 3670 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak of the Loess Plateau in Longyou; cold: it is a cold and humid area, with frost free period of 67-90 days. Except for the midsummer (mid June to mid August), there is often snow covered top every year. The so-called "cold mountain snow" in one of the eight scenic spots in Yuzhong refers to this; strange: the landform and scenery are peculiar, flat, and the relatively low-lying place on the top of the mountain can be seen At an altitude of 3500 meters above sea level, there are traces of both ancient ice margin and modern ice margin. In yinguan, birds are singing one after another, and forest musk deer appear from time to time, showing a quiet and deep primitive style. It is a horse breeding base valued by Gansu administrative officials. Now there is a boundary stele of "mumaguantan" of King Su of Ming Dynasty. This is the reason why guantangou got its name. There is still permafrost with thickness of more than 10 meters on the slope and the top of the mountain, which is about 3000 years ago. It is an important place to investigate the glacial permafrost landform. Special: due to the high altitude, the lack of water and air, the high transparency of the air, and the strong ultraviolet radiation, the color of flowers on the mountain is particularly bright. Every year, from May, the flowers on the north slope are in full bloom, except for the colorful plants and flowers, which are mainly clusters of huge flowers Rhododendron, autumn and winter, South Slope seabuckthorn fruit hanging branches, a piece of orange.

The golden dragon pool, Golden Dragon Temple, immortal cave, tiger and wolf cave on the hillside and the navigation station on the top of the mountain are also the main scenic spots in the Malian mountain tourist area.
