Heyuan's air quality reflects the Guangdong northern Dongjiang River valley's partial enclosure between the Jiulian Mountains, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the electronics, new energy, and manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. The surrounding mountain ranges create topographic variation, while the Xinfengjiang reservoir provides some local humidity and ventilation and Heyuan generally maintains moderate Guangdong northern mountain corridor readings throughout most of the year.
