Reading Lava on Haikou’s Edge
The geopark interprets cones, craters, lava and tunnels as evidence of volcanic processes in northern Hainan.
Haikou Volcanic Cluster Global Geopark
Volcanic cones, craters, lava and lava tunnels offer a geological account of northern Hainan.
South of Haikou, the geopark interprets a volcanic landscape formed from cones, craters, lava and pyroclastic rock. Its official profile describes a 108-square-kilometre park with around forty volcanoes and identifies lava tunnels among the features visitors can learn about. A science museum adds an explanatory layer to the terrain. Lava tunnels, cones and craters let visitors read the landscape through the materials and landforms described by the geopark.
