We present analysis of the spatial density structure for the outer disk from 8$-$14 \, kpc with the LAMOST DR5 13534 OB-type stars and observe similar flaring on north and south sides of the disk implying that the flaring structure is symmetrical about the Galactic plane, for which the scale height at different Galactocentric distance is from 0. 14 to 0. 5 \, kpc.
