  • The Daqing Shan (DQS) located in the Yinshan-Yanshan Orogenic Belt plays an important role in the Mesozoic to Cenozoic evolution of the North China Craton. However, the cooling and exhumation history since the Cretaceous is still controversial. Integrating the apatite fission track (AFT) data in both this study and previous works, a three-stage exhumation history from Cretaceous to Neogene of the DQS is proposed. (1) The first stage is composed of the early exhumation during Early Cretaceous driven by the collision between the North China and Siberia cratons (ca. 148–132 Ma) and the far-field effect of the subduction of the Pacific Plate (ca. 132–114 Ma). (2) Due to the subsidence of the Hetao Basin and the subsequent compensation between the DQS and the Hetao Basin, the DQS experienced the second rapid exhumation from Early Eocene to Early Oligocene (ca. 54–29 Ma). (3) Since the Late Miocene (ca. 13.5 Ma), the third rapid cooling and exhumation of the DQS occurred due to the far-field effect of the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and the subduction of the Pacific Plate.
