Geography and climate
Xiuyan borders Yingkou and Gaizhou to the west, Donggang and Zhuanghe to the south and Haicheng and Liaoyang to the north. Its latitude ranges from 40° 00' to 40° 39' N and longitude 122° 52' to 123° 41' E, and the area is 4,507 km (1,740 sq mi). The county's area is dominated by low-lying mountains part of the Changbai Mountains, with the highest peak in the county, Mount Maokui (帽盔山), at 1,141.5 m (3,745 ft), being the highest point in southern Liaoning.
Xiuyan has a monsoon-influenced humid continental climate (Köppen Dwa) characterised by hot, humid summers, due to the monsoon, and rather long, cold, and very dry winters, due to the Siberian anticyclone. The four seasons here are distinctive. A majority of the annual rainfall occurs in July and August. The monthly 24-hour average temperatures ranges from −9.8 °C (14.4 °F) in January to 23.3 °C (73.9 °F) in July, while the annual mean is 8.2 °C (46.8 °F). Due to the mountainous location, temperatures tend to be slightly cooler than areas to the south and west, and summer rainfall is more generous.
