Leiqiong Geopark is also known as Haikou Shishan Volcanic Group Geopark.

The specific location is in the southwest of Haikou.

It was quite far from the Marriott Hotel, so after eating at the amusement park, Zhao Fei returned to the Marriott, took off his luggage and loaded it on the Maybach, and drove off with his two daughters.

The Geopark is a volcanic geopark integrating sightseeing, leisure vacation, and health tourism.

In particular, the basalt hilly landform formed by the volcanic fault zone is very rare, and Haikou has a tropical monsoon climate.

Over thousands of years, it was built on layers of volcanic lava and tuff.

Many subtropical and tropical evergreen broad-leaved forests and various shrubs and grasses have developed, forming a unique landscape.

You can't see it at all in ordinary places.

Zhao Fei drove across the city. Because there was a slight traffic jam, Zhao Fei drove for nearly an hour for only less than [-] kilometers.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the park gate.

The three of them saw from a distance that there was a large stone building at the entrance of the park, standing on the grass, surrounded by trees and full of greenery.

Even the four characters "Leiqiong Volcano" painted on the big rocks are green.

"When I went there, I thought the so-called volcano park would be a bare place. I came here to see the special landforms and all kinds of strange rocks.

Unexpectedly, it was also lush and green, and it didn’t look like a volcano at all. "

"Yes, I also thought that the area around the volcano would be desolate, or full of acne, and all I could see were brown rocks, but I never thought that the reality was completely the opposite."

"When it comes to choosing scenic spots, everyone can completely trust Zhao Fei. Except for the last time he watched the puppet show, this guy made almost no mistakes.

Volcano Park will naturally have its special features. "

Zhao Fei got out of the car with his mobile phone and looked at the fans' surprise on the barrage in the live broadcast room.

He smiled and said, "Where are we now? We are just at the door now. When we enter the park later, you will be even more surprised.

Especially when we climb up the volcano and stand in the crater...

Be mentally prepared, because it will definitely surprise you! "

"What do you mean?" Mai Mai got out of the car, curious.

The younger sister also stared with a pair of beautiful big eyes, hoping that Zhao Fei could say more.

"Don't worry, you will know when the time comes."

Zhao Fei retained a sense of mystery and took the lead to walk towards the interior of the park.

Seeing this, the sisters Mai and Mai looked at each other, feeling helpless and could only follow them immediately.

It must be mentioned that Volcano Park requires tickets just like Fantasy Park, but it is much cheaper.

Zhao Fei bought a ticket and entered.

Entering the park from the entrance, the first thing you see is the central square under the volcano.

Around the circular square, there are many small paths paved with stones, and the rest of the place is covered with lawns, so if you look down from above.

You will find that this central square looks like a sea urchin wrapped in green and covered with spikes.

There are really too many paths here, which are intricate and complicated. Many of them are covered by lush plants, making it impossible to get a full view of them.

Next to the square, there are clusters of basalt pillars.

These stone pillars are produced when volcanoes erupt.

Zhao Fei continued to move forward, and at the same time kept introducing: "The entire Leiqiong Volcano Park is very large. In addition to the crater, there are also museums, earthquake museums... and so on.

In particular, there are more than 1000 species of rare tropical plants.

Therefore, the first thing we did after coming in was to rent a sightseeing car. "

Although the sisters took a brief rest after lunch and were not very tired now, Zhao Fei still wanted to rent a sightseeing car.

One of the reasons is that the Volcano Park is large.

The most important thing is that you need to climb a volcano later, which is the most physically demanding time.

"Are we going to climb a volcano later?" Mai Mai asked Zhao Fei while looking at the faint mountain peaks in the distance.

"That's right, if you don't climb the volcano in Volcano Park, then your visit will be in vain." Zhao Fei said with a smile.

In fact, the reason why Mai Mai was confused about this question.

Mainly because the conventional impression of volcanoes is that they are hot and dangerous. Therefore, when normal people come to the volcano, their first thought is not to climb the mountain, but to watch it from a distance.

But Leiqiong Volcano Park is different. You can feel it from the surrounding environment carefully.

This is different from ordinary active volcanoes.

Yes, despite the greenery here, there are indeed active volcanoes here, and there is not just one, but a group of active volcanoes.

Rather than a dead volcano.

The three of them took the sightseeing bus and could see the main displays near the central square, which were various stone tools and tropical plants left over after the volcanic eruption.

Among them is a stone basin-like stone that attracts attention.

Because this stone basin is very large, at least two to three meters high and four to five meters wide, it doesn't look like a stone basin at all, but more like a stone jar.

It can even be used as a bathtub. The thickness of the stone jar is as wide as a palm.

If Sima Guang had smashed this vat back then, he would have drowned long ago, and he would not be able to hear this story now.

However, this stone jar made by the ancients was not used for bathing or storing water.

But the villagers at the seaside use it specifically to make salt.

The main method is to pour seawater into a reservoir containing volcanic mud, turn the seawater into brine, and then pour the brine into a stone jar.

Through filtration, exposure to sunlight, the rim of the stone jar will crystallize, leaving behind clean, snow-white salt grains.

This method is quite ancient.

It can be said to be the earliest method of drying salt.

Later, the three of them saw a small artificial lake with green trees on the lakeside and many waterwheels on the lake, which were in the shape of wheels.

Form a circle and provide plenty of water to the fountain in the center.

It looks very delicate and beautiful.

Mai Mai held up the camera and took a lot of photos, including those of the surrounding scenery and some selfies with her sister.

Under the bright sunshine, the three people's faces were full of smiles.

"I don't know if you have noticed, but it seems that the trees in this volcano park are more lush than other places we went before."

After taking photos for a long time, Mai Mai scratched his head and looked at his sister and Zhao Fei: "Is this my imagination?"

Hearing this, my sister also carefully observed the surrounding green plants: "It seems to be stronger and the colors are more beautiful."

"Is it a volcano park? The minerals in this kind of place are richer than other places, so it is very conducive to plant growth. Naturally, the plants will grow better. Of course... it takes a long time for the environment to adjust itself. .”

Zhao Fei explained and pointed ahead: "Not far ahead is the volcanic geological site. We can see the lava flow when the time comes."

"What is a lava flow?"

“It is the rock that flows down after a volcanic eruption and cools naturally over time.

"understood."

Mai Mai nodded, she had seen similar videos like this before.

The volcano erupted, black smoke billowed, countless lava spewed out of the volcano, and the red liquid flowed down the hillside.

Over time, it cools and solidifies.At the same time, the lava flow in Zhao Fei's mouth also caught the eyes of the three of them.

It can be seen that the entire lava flow is surrounded by railings and is completely black. If you look closely, you will find that these black rocks look like cloth, layered on top of each other, like waves.

It is very dynamic, as if you have seen the scene when magma flowed here thousands of years ago.

The most amazing thing is that there are green grass growing out of some gaps on these lava flows.

You know, magma represents destruction.

Not to mention plants, even stones can be melted by you.

But after thousands of years passed, emerald green and tenacious grass grew on this destructive material.

You can see the magic of nature.

Of course, the lava flow in front of us looks very big in the eyes of everyone, but in fact it is only a small part of what was left after the volcanic eruption.

A large part of them were eradicated by staff.

Otherwise it takes up too much space.

The area left behind is also specially for tourists to visit.

"Volcanic eruptions, magma, lava flows... To be honest, I have only seen these things on TV, and I was curious about them when I was a child.

Thinking about the fun of playing with volcanic mud, is it different from the fun of peeing on me?
Now watching the live broadcast of the anchor, coupled with various explanations, can be regarded as a personal trip to the volcano. "

"Haha, who doesn't have a childhood full of fun? I can be sure that those upstairs are either born in the [-]s or [-]s.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to know how to play with mud. "

"No matter what, I still want to thank the host. This kind of look and feel is so strange."

Fans in the live broadcast room chatted and posted comments.

Zhao Fei and the other two stopped to take a few photos and then continued walking deeper into the park.

Because the nearby area is a relic left after the volcanic eruption, there are also many rocks, and these rocks have been artificially sculptured.

So these rocks full of pores look particularly stunning.

There is even a stone house made of volcanic stones.

If you look closely, you can see that even though this stone house is not big, the foundation, walls and load-bearing columns are all made of volcanic stones, and every piece of volcanic stone fits perfectly.

It looks solid.

Of course, the fact that this stone house can still be preserved to this day indirectly proves this point.

This stone house was built by local volcano residents thousands of years ago.

The three of them got off the sightseeing car and stepped over the steps. As they got closer, they could see that the stone house was rough on the surface and full of pores on the stone, but it was very straight inside.

Not only are there pieces of wood on the walls, but there are also wood partitions in the bedroom and kitchen.

Simple but very practical.

Mai Mai and her sister were secretly amazed when they saw it. In fact, there are many stone houses like this preserved in the entire Sunshine Island.

The first is because it is strong, and the second is that after the volcano erupted, the surrounding ground was covered with volcanic rocks, and residents could not find soil for farming and no water for irrigation.

Therefore, some common crops cannot be grown, and one can imagine how poor the residents' lives are.

However, it was precisely because of the volcanic eruption.

After the lava cools, most of the rocks formed are cylindrical in shape and are easy to collect and trim.

Therefore, nearby residents will choose red volcanic stone to build their houses.

It doesn’t require perfection, as long as it has a shelter from the wind and rain. After all, I can barely eat.

This kind of stone house can also be regarded as a kind of volcanic stone culture.

Next to the stone house, there are many round stone mills, which are somewhat similar to stone mills, but the stone mills here are not for shelling rice, but for squeezing sugar cane juice.

The first brown sugar that appeared in the world was made by boiling sugar cane juice.

In addition, there are many similar stone tools.

At the same time, go up the stairs to reach today's main goal, the crater.

It is also the highest point of the entire scenic spot.

Although this volcano is not very high, that is because it has erupted too many times, and volcanic ash and lava flows are constantly spreading around.

This makes the volcano here not look like a mountain.

But a very big big dirt bag.

That is, the central volcano is slightly steeper.

The most important thing is that the current hill is not bare but is covered with various lush tropical plants, making the climbing steps like a natural oxygen bar.

Not only is it not tiring, it is actually refreshing.

Two 10 minutes later.

After stepping onto the last step, the three of them climbed onto the platform at the highest point of the volcano.

Stand here, climb up and look around.

The field of vision broadened instantly.

Under the blue sky, my sister happily opened her hands and looked at the large buildings in the distance and the lush greenery at the foot of the mountain.

In a good mood.

Mai Mai also raised his camera to record every beautiful moment during the trip.

"Didn't you say there is a crater? Why didn't I see it?"

Mai Mai, who kept taking pictures, searched for a while and found that he couldn't find it at all, so he looked at Zhao Fei with his beautiful eyes.

"It's far away, yet so close."

Zhao Fei shook his head and pointed to a pyramid-shaped hill not far in front of the platform, which was covered with various lush tropical plants.

Even looking down, you can't see the true color of the mountain.

However, if you are careful, you can still find that the middle of the top of the mountain is slightly concave, the vegetation is also slightly sparse, and it is so dark that it is bottomless.

"Ah, this is the crater?"

Mai Mai looked in disbelief. She wanted to say that the crater was too small. How could such a small crater erupt with so much energy?

Or maybe the ruins everyone saw just now are all fake?

I can't.

Moreover, isn't this an active volcano?

Why are there still plants growing around the crater? Are these plants not afraid of fire?

It’s not just Mai Maimon, but also my sister and all the fans in the live broadcast room.

I also feel like my brain is running out of space.

"Are you kidding? This is an active volcano, isn't it?"

"Yes, I can understand the lush green vegetation at the bottom of the mountain, but logically speaking, shouldn't the crater be completely black, barren of grass, and emitting scorching heat?
Why is this completely different from what I imagined. "

"If you don't understand, just ask, are there any graduate students who have passed the exam, PhDs, etc.? Quickly explain what is going on. Otherwise, you don't know, or you just joined the live broadcast.

Who knew we were on a volcano? We thought we could just find a random mountain to climb. "(End of chapter)
