The Xijiang Fault is an important fault of the Pearl River Delta. To learn the quaternary activity of the Xijiang Fault furtherly, geological mapping in 1:50000 scale, age dating, shallow seismic reflection and drilling verification were performed. The results show that the quaternary geomorphology and fracture coupled. The character of historical seismic reflection shows the fault is still active. Field survey and shallow seismic reflection show that the fault didn’t cut quaternary strata. Chronology shows that the activity strength was relatively strong before the Late Pleistocene, and became weak afterward. Tectonic analysis of Modaomen indicates that there is a sudden change in the sedimentation rate at both sides of the fault, but activity strength is weaker. In short, the Xijiang Fault is still active, but its strength is weak.
