A brief introduction to ancient volcanoes

The Sanyang ancient volcano erupted 1.5 billion years ago, leaving many remains of volcanic eruption, which are rich in types and well preserved. Affected by the volcanic eruption, the crust has changed, and many large and small rifts, big valleys and narrow valleys have been formed in the Sanyang ancient volcano area, showing the landscape of many strange mountains and rocks. Due to the effect of pozzolanic fertilizer, the soil of Sanyang ancient volcano is fertile, and the vegetation coverage rate is more than 90%, and the forest coverage rate is more than 60%. Fruits and other agricultural and sideline products grown in volcanic areas are popular. Volcanic red fruit also enjoys the reputation of "covering Jingdong". In ancient times, it was used as a tribute by the imperial court and enjoyed by the royal family. With this, our company has set up a volcanic red fruit picking Park in the volcanic area. Pinggu "Sanyang ancient volcano" was named "Beijing natural wonders scenic spot" by the Municipal Tourism Association in 2007. It is one of the natural scenic spots for leisure and tourism during the Olympic Games. The volcano scenic spot is picturesque, with five steps for a small scene and ten steps for a big scene. The long and secluded gorge integrates mountains, water, valleys and rocks, and contains rich tourist landscapes. There are more than 100 tourist attractions.

Novelty

Climbing mountains to change lungs: there are mountains, fruit trees and pine trees all over the mountains. The negative oxygen ion in the air is more than 100 times that in the urban area.

Places to visit

1. Volcanic stone pagoda

On the cliff of the mountain, there is a tower shaped stone column, which seems to be made of artificial stone. It is called "volcanic stone tower". It was originally a geomorphic phenomenon formed by natural weathering after more than one billion years of volcanic eruption.

2. Longyu Tiankeng (volcanic vent)

Volcanic eruption once released a large amount of gas from the jet hole. The jet roar used to be one or two thousand meters deep. After many years of sediment deposition, it is now less than ten meters deep. Because there is an elm tree that looks like a dragon next to it, experts give it a cool name, which is called "Longyu Tiankeng".

The magic: there is a saying that you have to count a bag of cigarettes before you can hear the echo when you throw a stone!

3. Volcano vent

In the valley of the winding path of "Baiyang road", there is the "crater". It is a small pond surrounded by stone tablets, small viewing platforms, shrubs and weeds. 1.5 billion years ago, the earth's crust vibrated and the rocks erupted.

Other tours

Natural fruit tree Sightseeing Park:

From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are 100000 walnut trees on the roadside, as well as a lot of hawthorn trees. "Volcano red fruit" is very famous. Because of the effect of pozzolanic fertilizer, the soil is fertile and contains a lot of minerals and trace elements, so the red fruit is not only delicious, but also nutritious. Every October, red fruit is regarded as the first choice for making sugar gourd.

Natural wonder: Tianshengqiao

Climbing up the mountain road, you will see Tiansheng bridge. It is natural. It is about 4 meters wide, 2 meters high and 15 meters long. If it rains, it will form a waterfall, which is particularly spectacular. As a geological "artwork" formed by long-term erosion of rock strata by rivers, geologists inferred its age as early as before the volcanic eruption, possibly 1.8 billion years ago.

Tianhu and Songlinpo

If you keep going along the mountain road, you can also see the natural formation of Tianhu lake and thousand mu of pine forest slope. The scenery is beautiful.

Characteristic landscape

It is picturesque, with five steps for a small view and ten steps for a large view. It contains rich natural landscapes, such as tortoise praying, mountain protection and zuape peak.

Pangu stone

It is said that it is "quartzite sandstone" with 1.8 billion years, which has witnessed the biological evolution and human origin in a long time.

Shi Niang brings up her son

It is a natural pattern of weathering and denudation on the crack surface of the boulder, like a young mother gazing at her newborn baby affectionately.

The ancient ape greets the guests

When you feel that the canyon suddenly narrows in front of you, you will arrive at the "Dragon Gate". Looking at the mountain in the distance from here, it looks like a giant ape crouching in front of you. That is the "ancient ape peak". The landscape is called "ancient ape welcome".

High mountain quickstone

The cliff on the mountain is weathered and collapsed, and the falling rock fragments gather to form a gravel flow, pouring down from the ridge like a waterfall.

Looking at Buddha and Fengtai

On the side of the road, there is a wooden pavilion called "watching Buddha and watching Fengtai". It is said that the pavilion is standing in front of the distant mountain, which looks like a reclining Buddha, while the mountain in front of the right looks like a Phoenix.

Kowloon bonus tree

A hundred year old Hongxiao pear tree, whose trunk is full of vicissitudes, has nine bending branches, which are luxuriant and fruity. The fruit was once a tribute to the emperor, and it has the effect of relieving cough and asthma. There is a folk saying that "eating red pear and touching bonus tree is healthy and lucky".

Plum blossom rain mark

A piece of quartz sandstone covered with rust has a nice name "plum blossom rain mark". It turns out that such quartz sandstone once contained a large number of small nodules composed of siliceous, argillaceous and iron. Due to long-term weathering, the argillaceous was eroded, while the iron was oxidized. On the rocks, there were spots of rust, which looked like plum blossoms. It is said that it was clearer in rainy days.

Volcano knowledge

Volcanoes have a long history. Some volcanoes erupted before human history, but now they are no longer active. Such volcanoes are called "dead volcanoes"; however, some "dead volcanoes" erupt suddenly with the change of the earth's crust, which is called "dormant volcanoes"; volcanoes erupted from time to time in human history are called "active volcanoes".

Volcanic activity can eject a variety of materials. Among the ejected solid materials, there are usually broken rock blocks, debris and volcanic ash; among the ejected liquid materials, there are lava flow, water, various aqueous solutions and mud flow mixed with water, debris and volcanic ash; among the ejected gas materials, there are water vapor and oxides of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, fluorine and sulfur. In addition, in volcanic activities, visible or invisible light, electricity, magnetism, sound and radioactive materials are often ejected, which can sometimes cause human death, or make electricity and instruments out of order, causing aircraft and ships to crash.

Ticket evasion strategy: on the right side of the gate, go down more than 100 meters and go up the mountain. You can see the obvious path as soon as you go up the mountain, but don't go down the path. Go up the mountain from an unobvious path on the right side, and then go down the mountain to the top of the mountain.
