As the results, we recorded 18 species, 5 species of amphibians and 13 species of reptiles. Those species belongs to 12 genus, 2classes, 2 orders (Appendix). The amphibians and reptiles in this area are relatively poor both in species and quantity. However, the dominant species have obvious quantitative advantages, they distributed in the high altitude distribution. The composition of the fauna is dominantly by Palaearctic realm species.
