Brief introduction of Haikou crater geological park

Haikou Crater Geopark is an AAAA-level scenic spot in China and a world geopark, where volcanic culture and tropical ecology gathered thousands of years ago. Volcanic landforms are very rich, which constitute a geological park with tropical urban culture and volcanic ecology as its connotation.

There are more than 40 Quaternary volcanoes in Crater Park, with diverse types, rich lava landscape and strange lava tunnels. Thousands of years ago, volcanoes, millennial volcanic culture and tropical ecological vegetation communities merged, which has a unique flavor. In recent years, many instruments reflecting the production and life of volcanic areas since ancient times have been added to the scenic spot, such as ancient houses, earth altars, rakes, lying cabinets and so on. , including stone tools, wood products and volcanic stone art.

Geological remains of crater

The main body of geological relics is a Quaternary volcanic group consisting of 40 volcanoes. Volcano types are complete and diverse, covering almost all kinds of volcanoes erupted by Xuanwu volcano. There are more than 30 lava tunnels, the longest of which is over 2000 meters. Its internal form and landscape are rich and wonderful, which is rare at home and abroad. There are 1200 kinds of plants represented by volcanic cones, craters and basalt platform rainforests. Orchard and volcanic landscape are integrated, which is an outstanding representative of volcanic ecology in tropical cities. There are ancient villages, stone houses, stone towers and various appliances for production and living built by people using basalt for thousands of years in the park, which records the vein of volcanic culture accompanied by people and stones, and can be called a classic of China volcanic culture. The main attractions are Ma 'anling, Shuangchiling, Xianren Cave and Luojing Plate.

Shuangchiling is a window-like attraction in the park. There are four volcanoes in the scenic spot, namely, the south cone wind furnace ridge, the north cone mantou ridge and two small-scale parasitic volcanoes called "volcano holy baby". The ridge is two parallel twin volcanoes, and the crater wall is a tuff ring.

Luo Roman bait volcano, with an inner diameter of 1000m, has a perfect circular low crater, and its radial and annular pastoral scenery is very pleasant.

The cave is divided into upper and lower parts. There is a hole in the lower section, and the sky is outside, which is confusing. There are all kinds of lava emulsions hanging on the rock wall, which seems to fall off. It's amazing. This cave is rugged and full of water, and the sound of water drops can be heard at any time. Water drops create different tones on rocks of different shapes, forming a very beautiful rhythm.

The upper section of Xianren Cave is divided into dozens of lava tunnels because the caves collapse the most. Some of these caves are like interconnected cobwebs. Some are like open-air underground restaurants; Others are like strange castles and palaces. Sunlight shines through the skylight formed by the collapse of the tunnel, making the scenery in the dark cave clear and spectacular.

Ma 'anling volcano consists of four volcanoes, namely, the southern cone wind furnace crater, the northern cone steamed bread crater and two parasitic small volcanoes on its side. They are called eye ridges like a pair of eyes, and they are called volcanic holy infants. 1996 The main venue in China, world tourism day was held here, which was highly praised by experts and tourism officials from more than 20 countries.
