By analyzingPreflectivity extracted from stacked autocorrelograms for teleseismic events on a dense seismic profile, we obtain a detailed image of the mid‐lithosphere discontinuity (MLD) beneath western and central North China Craton (NCC). This seismic daylight imaging exploits a broad high‐frequency band (0.5–4 Hz) to reveal the fine‐scale component of multi‐scale lithospheric heterogeneity. The depth of the MLD beneath the western and central parts of the NCC ranges 80–120 km, with a good match to the transition to negativeSvelocity gradient with depth from Rayleigh wave tomography. The MLD inferred from seismic daylight imaging also has good correspondence with the transition from conductive to convective regimes estimated from heat flow data indicating likely thermal control within the seismological lithosphere.
