Chahar Volcano Group is located in Wulanhadasumu, Chayou Houqi, Inner Mongolia, with a distribution range of about 400,000 m2. The volcanic activity of Chahar Volcano Group began in the late Late Pleistocene about 30,000 years ago, and it was dormant in Holocene. There were more than 20 volcanoes, including about 20 in Late Pleistocene and 3 in Holocene. Volcanoes are all composed of basaltic pyroclastic materials and lava flows. Chahar Volcano Group is the only Holocene eruption volcano group found in the southern margin of Mongolia Plateau. The integrity and preservation of volcanic structural elements is rare in China. It is another natural volcano "museum" and a natural "window" to study the deep structure of modern crust and its activities. It has been included in the nature reserve of volcanic geological relics at the autonomous region level, and has applied to the state for the Chahar Volcano National Geopark.

There are many beautiful legends about the Chahar Volcano Group. Legend has it that the nine crescent-shaped volcanoes in the volcano group are the incarnations of nine fairies who created human beings and nature by magic. The local Mongolian villagers call it Bao Gede (Mongolian, meaning holy mountain), and they hold sacrificial ceremonies on time every year, which is called offering sacrifices to Aobao.

The No.5 volcanic cone is called Dunda Xi Du (Mongolian, Zhongjianzi Mountain), which is said to be the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun. The Monkey King spent 7749 days in this furnace when he was taken away by Erlang God and handed over to Taishang Laojun. The Monkey King took advantage of the old gentleman's inspection, and a somersault flew to the northeast mountain of Kuangjia Village. Later generations called that mountain Monkey Mountain, and there was a village called Monkey Village at the foot of the mountain, which is still in use today.

Chahar Volcano Group is rich in resources, rich in geothermal energy, volcanic hot springs, karst mineral water, volcanic caves, rare volcanic deposits, rare volcanic landscapes at home and abroad and peculiar scenery of volcanic dammed lakes, which requires people of insight to visit and invest. At present, the agreement negotiation with an investor on the comprehensive development project of volcanic geological park is progressing smoothly.

The traffic of Chahar Volcano Group is very convenient, with a complete and unique volcanic type, magnificent volcanic landscape, peculiar water color of volcanic dammed lake, volcanic grassland scenery, Mongolian folk customs and profound Chahar culture. It is a rare tourist attraction around the capital. Due to volcanism, lava landforms were formed in the volcanic zone. There are stone rivers, lakes, seas and waves on the water. All kinds of stone birds and beasts can be seen everywhere, and colorful rock flowers are dotted with mountains and rivers beyond the Great Wall. Volcanoes 3 and 5 are famous for their shapes similar to Mount Fuji in Japan. You can either go deep into the natural volcano "museum" to learn about volcanoes and make scientific investigations, or dive into the bottom of the volcanic basin to explore the mystery of volcanic eruption. You can also climb to the top of the mountain and pick up a few pieces of magma stones with different shapes as handicrafts to ponder carefully, or stroll among volcanoes, daydream about the spectacular scene of volcanic eruption, and then take a deep breath of fresh air. The masterpieces of nature will surely make people who have lived in the city for a long time feel relaxed and refined.
