<正> During the last 2 years, heat flow data increased significantly in China as a result of implementation of many comprehensive geodynamic (including geothermal) projects and GGT project in China. In this paper, a total of 366 reliable heat flow data is collected from published and in press sources in the Compi-ilation of Heat Flow Data in the China Continental Area (2nd edition). Statistic analysis of these data shows that the heat flow values in China continental area vary from 20 to 140 mWm-2. The mean value appears to be 66 mWm-2.
