Leiqiong UNESCO Global Geopark

Definitely worth the trip out to see the volcano park. I was expecting it to be a full day, however I made it round everything in 2 hours (with a break at the top of the volcano for a snack with a view). Very easy to get to, just hopped on the no.1 bus at Baishamen Park and it went directly to the volcano park.

The bus on the 1st route is directly accessible. The scenic spot is not big. It climbs a small slope to the crater. The highest peak 222.8 meters is the highest peak in the Haikou. You can look at the Qiongzhou Strait. You can go to the crater and observe it up close. There are ferns and volcanic castor plants. The crater has a faint fragrance. Well worth a slow visit, half a day is enough.

The Haikou Ishiyama Volcano Group National Geopark is a geological relic of the basement volcanic activity of the Geopark of the Geopark of the Rift Valley, and is one of the dormant mountains of the volcanic eruption activity in the Holocene period of China (about 1 million years ago).

Leiqiong Haikou Volcano Group World Geopark is located in Shishan Town, southwest of Haikou City ． belongs to the Geological Relics of Geo-active Basic Volcano of the Diqiu Rift Type ． Volcanoes are diverse and cover almost all types of volcanoes erupting from basaltic volcanoes, which are not only, lava cones, mixed cones, Mazhao volcano ． lava tunnel formed by magma and groundwater interaction has more than 30, the longest to more than 2000 meters, its internal shape and landscape are rich and wonderful, which is rare at home and abroad.

There are not many scenic spots in Haikou, and they are scattered, so it is more appropriate to arrange a half-day to one-day in-depth tour. On the first day to Haikou, we chose the Leiqiong Haikou Volcanic Group Global Geopark, which is the highlight of one of the few Holocene (10,000 years ago) volcanic eruption activity in China. The scenic spot is located in Shishan Town, southwest of Haikou City, 15 kilometers away from the urban area. It can be reached from the west highway to the green corridor, and it is about 30 yuan by taxi from the urban area. The characteristics of the scenic spot are volcanic clusters, peculiar lava, deep caves, unique tropical ecology, and endless volcanic culture. The types of volcanoes are complete and diverse, and the volcanic geological landscape is extremely rich. The park develops ecological communities represented by tropical rain forests on volcanic cones, craters and basalt terraces. There are more than 1,200 plants. The orchard is integrated with the volcanic landscape and is an outstanding representative of tropical urban volcanic ecology. The park also preserves ancient villages, stone houses, stone towers, and various production and living utensils built by people using basalt for thousands of years. It records the volcanic cultural context that people and rocks are accompanied by, which is called the classics of Chinese volcanic culture. The park is relatively large. The main attractions include Ma'anling, Shuangchiling, Xianrendong, Luojingpan, etc. The whole journey takes 2-3 hours on foot.
