In this paper, we use shallow seismic reflection profiles to trace the Meishan fault and show its shear zone feature in the near surface structure between the Meishan and Minhsiung area. The results show that the Meishan fault zone could be up to 450 m wide, with the major fault plane steeply dipping to the south. The flower structure feature of a strike slip fault could be seen clearly in the near surface structure, in addition, from its scale we believe that the structure should be integrated from earthquakes of many times and the fault should be extended to west of the Minhsiung area. A major trend, striking in the SW-NE direction, of the Meishan fault, is consistent with that reported by Omori (1907); however, we believe the location of the fault in west of the Chungken to Minhsiung area should be shifted to the north.
