Tengchong Volcano Geological Park, a must-visit!

First, the disadvantages: 1. It is far from the city center, about an hour's drive. 2. The entrance fee is 35 yuan, not including the shuttle bus. The ticket office obviously lacks the ability to respond. Two of the three self-service ticket machines are broken and no one is repairing them. The good one is also often stuck. There are only two channels for manual ticket sales, with long queues. It took us nearly half an hour to get it done. And you must have your ID card to buy tickets on the spot. ID card number is not allowed. 3. It takes a certain amount of legwork to walk from the ticket office to the foot of Dakong Mountain. After reaching the foot of the mountain, there are still more than 700 steep steps to climb. You can also ride a horse up and down the mountain, but the price is really too extravagant and not unified. It tests people's bargaining ability. 4. After you actually climb the mountain, you don't have the same intuitive experience as aerial photography. A pit hole, you need to convince yourself to use your imagination - this is a crater. Now let's talk about the worthwhile experiences When you go out, nine times out of ten things don't go as planned. More importantly, when you go out with children, you hope that your tolerant attitude can infect them. ① The museum in the Volcano Geological Park is small but beautiful. After walking around in the field, you will have a deeper impression when you go to the museum. The two children we were traveling with were very focused in this museum. The museum has various popular science exhibitions on the history of the Earth, the formation of volcanoes, the eruption process and its impact on the Earth's environment. The museum displays volcanic rock specimens, volcanic eruption simulators and geological evolution models, showcasing the unique volcanic geological features of Tengchong. In addition, the museum also introduces volcanic landforms in other parts of China and famous volcanic landforms/eruption records in the world. It is an excellent popular science base for understanding the mysteries of the Earth. ② I picked up volcanic rocks in the crater, which are trophies, much more meaningful than buying them in an ancient town. ③ Hiking with kids is a must-do outdoor activity, and it's a pleasure to hike in a cool place. ④ Although the "crater" on the top of the mountain requires some imagination, the view of other volcanoes from the top of the mountain is still very beautiful. ⑤ A restaurant we found at random near the entrance was surprisingly delicious and cheap, called Cai Xiang Yuan Restaurant
