#Tengchong Volcanic Geothermal National Geological Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
A visit to the Tengchong Volcanic Geopark is a must when traveling to Tengchong
A visit to the Tengchong Volcanic Geopark is a must! The volcanic hot air balloon is definitely worth a try, the feeling of 'soaring in the sky' and looking down on the crater is indescribable.
🚗 Public transportation in Tengchong is not well-developed, so it is recommended to drive or take a taxi to the Volcanic Geopark. It takes about 40 minutes by taxi from the city center or Heshun Ancient Town. (Chartering a car for a day costs about 280 yuan, and if you visit less than 3 attractions in one day, then taking a taxi is more cost-effective)
🎫 The entrance fee to the Volcanic Geopark is 35 yuan, and there's nothing special about just strolling around the park. However, all the attractions inside are worth trying. The hot air balloon is the most worthwhile, at 280 yuan per person; there is also paragliding for 380 yuan per person; and horse riding for 100 yuan per person.
🎈 The hot air balloon is only available in the morning. If it's not a holiday, arriving around 9:00 is fine. If it's a major holiday, please arrive around 8:00. Otherwise, you might make the trip for nothing. (It seems there are only 400 tickets available each day)
📝 Be sure to check the weather before you set off. Weather changes have a big impact on hot air balloons. Clear skies with a gentle breeze are the most suitable conditions for a hot air balloon ride.
📌 The hot air balloon slowly ascends, getting higher and higher, until it reaches above the volcano crater. You can enjoy the full view of Da Kong Mountain and Xiao Kong Mountain. The volcanoes that once roared with magma and erupted fiercely are now covered with vegetation, a lush green sight. In that moment, you are overwhelmed by the beauty before your eyes.

Tengchong, Yunnan, a national geological park of volcanic geothermal! Recommend horse riding up the mountain!
Finally brought the kids to the long-awaited volcanic geological park (admission 35 per person).
Riding a hot air balloon is of course the highlight, because I have read a lot of guides before.
So we arrived at the parking lot of the Volcanic Geological Park at nine o'clock in the morning, took the sightseeing car with the old and young, and went straight to the hot air balloon spot (adults 280 yuan for 8 minutes, children under 1.2 meters 200, over 1.2 meters charged as adults)
About to ride the hot air balloon, the kids jumped up excitedly!
Today we have 6 balloons taking off, it's super beautiful~
After a while, there may be a queue when there are more people.
Today's photos don't need P and filters
Just share the truth with everyone.
After riding the hot air balloon, because there are old people and children, so recommend horse riding up the mountain.
It's a different experience from riding a horse on flat ground in the city.
The horse is very well-behaved, you can take a photo with the horse at the top of the mountain!
You can see the undeveloped volcano in the distance halfway up the mountain on horseback!
Remember to bargain!
After riding, walk down the steps, and your legs are also shaking.
Then we chose the relaxed and pleasant Xiaokong Mountain.
As it turns out, the whole family thinks that the experience of Xiaokong Mountain is more comfortable
Walk and enjoy the volcanic scenery, and collected some volcanic rocks and pine cones along the way.
From the Volcanic Geological Park, I saw an "Volcano Experience Science Museum" (25 per person) at the exit, so I took the whole family in to take a look. I didn't expect this place to be a "hidden Easter egg", both the kids and the elderly like it.
The price of 25 yuan, with volcanic science introduction, 4D volcano flying car experience, interstellar crossing, VR experience, movie explanation, everyone unanimously believes that the experience and cost performance are extremely high, really love it.

Volcano Geothermal National Geological Park | Tengchong Volcano
Tengchong, with 97 volcanoes, is an excellent destination for exploring volcanic landforms. Among them, Tengchong's Volcano Geological Park is an ideal place to appreciate volcanic geological features. This park mainly includes Da Kong Mountain, Columnar Joint, and Black Fish River. Due to the distance between them, tourists usually go to Da Kong Mountain in Mazhan Township first.
Entering the scenic area gate, there is a museum about volcanoes on the right, where you can learn about the formation and structure of volcanoes. The road from the gate to Da Kong Mountain is wide, and both sides are paved with volcanic stones. In addition, there is a fork in the road leading to the trail of Xiao Kong Mountain. You can choose to climb one or both mountains depending on your physical strength and time. Both mountains have trails to the 'bottom of the pot' (volcano crater), with Xiao Kong Mountain offering more beautiful scenery. If time and energy do not permit, it is recommended to choose to climb Xiao Kong Mountain. Both mountains have stairs at the top, and a wooden plank road has been built around the crater of Xiao Kong Mountain, where you can walk around the crater. In addition, tourists can also follow the trail down to the top of the mountain. If you want to experience another perspective overlooking the volcano crater, you can choose to take a hot air balloon in the morning.
After visiting the volcano, you can take a minibus at the gate to the Columnar Joint and Black Fish River scenic spots. Columnar Joint is a unique landform in volcanic areas. After getting off at the Columnar Joint parking lot, you can walk along the plank road and see the sharp stone pillar groups hanging on the slopes on both sides like large screens. After visiting the Columnar Joint, you can return to the parking lot and take a car to the Black Fish River scenic spot. The Black Fish River is a river formed by the convergence of two underground dark streams, named after the small black fish in the river.
There are no restaurants in the scenic area, so it is recommended to eat in the small town at the entrance of the scenic area before entering, or to prepare dry food. In this way, you can enjoy the beauty of Tengchong Volcano Geological Park without worrying about hunger.

Volcano Park
It's quite novel to climb a volcano for the first time, but unfortunately, a big fire this year has turned Da Kong Mountain into a truly empty mountain. I didn't get to ride a hot air balloon or experience the feeling of overlooking a group of volcanoes. It's a pretty unique check-in place, not particularly fun, but it would be a pity not to visit when in Tengchong.

It is said that Tengchong County was built on the lava that was cooled and solidified 900,000 years ago. You are lying quietly, docile as a child. Tens of thousands of years ago, the surging and spurting out of the river has precipitated into a fertile volcano dam as the years passed. The volcanic ash and the mud blend together to give birth to everything and make life last longer. There are nearly 100 volcanic bodies and several grade lava terraces in the volcanic scenic area. The volcanic cones, volcanic caves, lava fields, volcanic lakes, dammed waterfalls and columnar joints in the scenic area are large in scale, concentrated and preserved. complete. At present, there are two dormant volcanoes, Dakong Mountain and Xiaokong Mountain. If you are not addicted, there are columnar joints and Blackfish River 12 kilometers away.

Tengchong Volcano National Park is centered on the volcanic representative of the large, small empty mountains and black empty mountains. The scope includes the entire volcanic group and volcanic lava landforms and the volcanic columnar joints of the Longjiang Gorge.

If it is not enough to climb the mountain, you can choose to take a hot air balloon in the morning and look at the crater of the dense wilderness from another angle.

Everyone wants to take a hot air balloon and don't have to go abroad~ You can feel it in our beautiful Tengchong Volcanic Geothermal National Geological Park!
Although the number of hot air balloons is not as many as the hot air balloons in Turkey, here is a hot air balloon next to the volcano. You can also look at the whole volcano at high altitude, compared to the spectacular Cappadocia hot air balloon. Tengchong's hot air balloon has a unique appeal.

In the ten mountains you saw in Tengchong, Yunnan, at least nine mountains have no heads, all of which are dormant volcanoes. The Tengchong volcanic geological park is one of the four major volcanoes in China with 97 volcanic volcanoes. Early in the volcanic park, the village in the distance is still covered in mist, mysterious and beautiful, and when we take the hot air balloon, the distant mountains are covered in a mist. This is the morning time, then look down to the crater clearly.

Before reading a Tengchong travel note, I realized that Tengchong could also take a hot air balloon.
Before going to Bagan to see the overheated balloon lifted off, I most wanted to go to Turkey to take a hot air balloon, but I dedicated it to Tengchong for the first time.

Go straight to the ticket office to buy tickets for hot air balloons. The ticket seller said that it was cash, and we didn't have the habit of bringing cash. We used soft WeChat to pay for it.
This is held by the rope, don't worry about the hot air balloon flying far away, but unfortunately there are only two, if it is more estimated, it will look better.
There are four large-scale volcanic distribution areas on the territory of China. Tengchong is one of them. There are 97 volcanoes identified, of which about 25 are intact.
These five heads of mountains are only interesting when viewed on a hot air balloon.
Tips:
Tengchong Volcanic Park, tickets 78 yuan / person, hot air balloon 280 yuan / person, probably about 10 minutes.
Tickets for hot air balloons can be sold online, 268 yuan, but you must buy one day in advance.
Sit on the hot air balloon early, and it wont fly after a little windy.

There are not many places in China where you can take a hot air balloon tour. Tengchong is one of the few. Because of the unique volcanic landscape, the blue sky and the endless mountains of the plateau, Tengchong's hot air balloon is in the forefront of my heart. What can compete with it is Cappadocia in Turkey.
As the height gradually increases, the field of vision in front of the eyes becomes more open. The beautiful scenery that is not seen in the day is also slowly spread out.
The size of the empty mountain, the two volcanoes are only a few hundred meters apart, the same pair of twin sisters, accompanied by. When the balloon crosses the top of the mountain, the crater is finally unveiled in front of you. This beautiful face that I have seen in the album for countless times has finally opened the mysterious veil.

Tengchong, located in the foothills of Gaoligong Mountain, is a famous geothermal town. The volcanic group is large in size, well preserved and in various forms. It is known as the Natural Geological Natural Museum. The entrance to the park is an external wall made of volcanic stones. Above the entrance and exit are three pointed-cone structures that symbolize the volcano. Standing at the door, I could smell the smell of sulfur and look at the large trees that dare to grow on the volcano. I couldn't help but go in and find out. Driving to the foot of the volcano, the rest of the road depends on two legs. In its quiet years, people built brick bridges and stone steps. At the foot of the bridge, facing the volcano, from this point of view, as if only need a triple jump, you can jump to the tip of the volcanic mountain. After crossing the bridge, I discovered that this volcano is going through the jungle on the mountainside, stepping on the stone steps and climbing up the ground. Go to the block stone, read it carefully, and know the origin of the "small empty mountain" at the foot. The name "Xiaokong Mountain" is often called with the volcanic property of selling volcanoes. When the lava tigers rushed down the mountain, the "small empty mountain" now has a delicate texture hidden in the green plants. . I walked up the plank road on the top of the mountain and walked around the crater. I thought about the passage in the mountain under my feet. There was a passage to communicate with the earth. Maybe the earth had told her anger before the millennium. If there are still some small cracks in the center of the earth, what is the symmetry point on the other end of the earth? In the Volcanic Geothermal National Geological Park, you can take a hot air balloon and explore the panorama of the small empty mountain from a height.

Many people may not know that China actually has volcanoes, and this volcano can also ride a hot air balloon overlooking the crater.
There are two dormant volcanoes, Dakong Mountain and Xiaokong Mountain. If you climb up the mountain, it will take about half an hour. You can rent a horse for half of the time. Of course, you can rent a horse to visit. volcanic.
Tengchong Volcanic Geothermal National Geological Park, you can take a hot air balloon, tickets for 100 per person, take a hot air balloon 200, in fact, this hot air balloon is tied with a rope, just straight up and down.

The word volcano seems to be far from our usual. When I heard the words in these two words, it would be very straightforward to think of the hot red magma eruption. I didnt expect Tengchong to have nearly a hundred volcanoes, the whole volcanic community. The volcanic geothermal park is located in the northern part of Tengchong and Lianghe County. It is about 40 minutes drive from the city and tickets are 100 yuan. There are some stalls selling souvenirs and handcrafts at the door.
Hot air balloon is one of the characteristics of this place, maybe it is not the peak season, the whole empty space is only two lonely. A basket can take up to six people, 200 people, 20 minutes at a time. The hot air balloon here has a rope that is always squatting, basically falling vertically. In addition to hot air balloons, there are horseback riding and hang gliding in the park. In the off-season, you can ride a horse for 100 yuan to go up and down the mountain.
