A seismic refraction profile in the NNE direction passing the Zhangzhou geothermal field in the Fujian Province carred out in 1985-1986. By use of one- and two-dimensions ray tracing, synthetic seismograms fitting and inversion etc., a detailed image of structure and velocity distribution of the crust and uppermost mantle in the region has been obtained.The result shows that: The Zhangzhou geothermal field is just located an area that the crustal thickness changes suddenly there- The crust uplifts in the direction from the Zhangzhou city to the seacoast in the south, and the crustal thickness is only 29.5 km there. But it increases rapidly to about 32.0 km to the north.At the suddenly changed position of the crustal structure, all the seismic velocity interfaces in the crust has been crooked or even broken, this suggests probably a fault belt. There is a P-wave low-velocity zone (LVZ), which is a limited extension laterally, in the middle-upper crust. The velocity of the LVZ is less than 5.80 km/s and it's top depth is more than 10.0 km. The LVZ is just located in the crust beneath the Zhangzhou geothermal field and at the suddenly changed zone of the crust. It suggests that the LVZ is the deep source of the geothermal field and it is probably a portion meltting body.
