Tengchong Columnar Jointing

On the side of the volcano to the wetland, now you don't give it to the valley, you can take a free look at the photo. There is an Agile real estate opposite, which is quite kind. This can be developed. The whole volcano in Tengchong is covered by vegetation. In fact, it is generally not noticed after passing. I think the volcano is not very beautiful here, similar to the ordinary mountain.

It should be a good performance of Tengchong Geopark, the columnar basalt formed after the cooling of the volcanic magma. This natural perfect display to everyone, is also a very good science park.

A tourist attraction with volcanic landforms, with the scenery of the Black Fish River and streams, is simply monotonous from the geological park, but the Black Fish River and streams are crystal clear, and the scenery on both sides of the stream is still good.

Known as the "Volcanic Geology Museum", Tengchong County has more than 70 volcanic sites. This "column joint" is located in Qushi Township. It is the largest, complete and shortest column joint found in China so far. The sky is full of gestures and the scenery is spectacular!

Column joints stand a large volcanic eruption of the undiscovered magma condensation formed after the column crystal, geologically called column joints, locals imaged it as a pillar, is also China to date found the largest scale, the most complete preservation, The shortest columnar joints of the year.

The columnar joint scenic spot in Tengchong City is located in Qushi Town, Tengchong City. The columnar joints formed over hundreds of millions of years show a shocking vision.

The temperature of the volcanic magma erupts at 1200 ℃, and when the magma is cooled to 800-900℃, the magma crystallizes to form a columnar joint. Since the magma contains minerals such as hexagonal slate, olivine, amphibole, pyroxene and other columns, it forms a hexagonal column after cooling, which is called: columnar joint. Here stands a large volcanic eruption of the unexposed magma condensation of the surface formed after the column crystal, geologically known as "column joints", locals imaged it "column pillar".
