Abstract: The hot and dry climate was considered to exist in Yixian Formation, western Liaoning Province. However, the discoveries of Taxodium, Cryptomeria, Equisetum indicate a warm and wet climate in the late Jurassic or early Cretaceous age of Yixian Formation. A new explanation for the paleoclimate is expounded based on paleobotanical evidence.
