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.
