In this paper，according to the next aspects: component，scale of extending，initial time of active，style of activity，magnitude of displacement，velocity of strike-slip movement and mode of the Altyn fault，we summarized the research results on the Altyn Fault belts in recently twenty years. And then，we think that Altyn fault belts were composed of five faults，its extent length was about 1 700 km. Reliable age dating showed that Altyn fault initiated from late Mesozoic as sinistral-slip style，the cumulation magnitude of slip was 400±50 km and the displacement from western to eastern part minished since late Cenozoic. Perhaps these were related to the North pulse-style towards subduction of India plate. In the following ten years，studying of the uplift chronology for Altyn mountain，how the Altyn fault controls basin of both side and how to guide the prospect of oil & gas，these will be noticed by more and more geologists.
