The stream capture model has been proposed to explain the landscape evolution of Leeyutan area for more than forty years; due to those barbed drainages, underfit rivers, through valley, wind gap and dammed lake. Instead of this model, this study suggests divide breaching, a type of stream diversion, is more appropriate. The major mechanism of river overtopping lower divide is the development of alluvial fans. The principal river valley had been first aggradated during the period of late Pleistocene's eustatic sea level rising. Then alluvial fans were formed because of rejuvenating of rivers and climate fluctuation during mid to late Holocene, when eustatic sea level has been relative stable.
