A systematic geological and geochemical study was conducted for the granitoids of different periods in the western Kunlun orogenic belt. The study indicates that the granitoids belong to tholeiitic, calc‐alkaline, high‐K calc‐alkaline, alkaline and shoshonitic series, and that there are 5 genetic types, i.e., I‐, S‐, M‐, A‐ and SH‐type, of which SH‐type is first put forward in this paper, which corresponds to shoshonitic granitoids.
