Li, S., Highlights•Long-term PM2.5 data are employed with high resolution and high accuracy.•The spatiotemporal variations of PM2.5 are revealed using wavelet, AbstractPM2.5 has been a hot concern in the recent decade. Many studies have focused on metropolises or those areas with poor air quality, Beelen, R., Chen, Z., Chen, J., Fu, P. F., Fu, Z. Y., Geng, G. N., Han, L. J., He, J. H., Hu, J. L., Hu, M.
