This planning takes the core values of the scenic area’s humanities and natural landscapes as its fundamental basis, maintains the integrity of the regional river basin ecological unit as its basic principle, uses natural ecological protection space as its base. Combining the development of the Xishan area and the current land use situation, it determines the core scenic area and its overall range boundary.

The area of the Juwei Mountain Scenic and Historic Area is defined as 164.74 square kilometers, with the core scenic area being 53.81 square kilometers; the total area has slightly increased compared to its establishment, mainly increasing areas to adjust the local space of the complete basin ecological unit.
