Datong Volcano Group in Shanxi is a great place for road hiking and cycling adventures.

In summer, Datong has a pleasant climate, clear skies, and lush vegetation. If the climate was so pleasant 1,500 years ago, Emperor Xiaowen might have hesitated to move the capital to Luoyang. Datong Volcano Group National Geology Park is located in Yunzhou District, east of Datong City. It is the largest extinct volcano group in North China. Langwo Mountain, Jinshan, Heishan, and dozens of other extinct volcanoes are densely located in this area. Haotian Temple Volcano is a perfect cone-shaped volcano. A temple has been built on the top of the mountain since the Jin Dynasty, and incense has been burning continuously. Datong Pingcheng City has a volcano line that runs on weekends and can be reached directly. Buses connecting Yunzhou District can also be reached. It is less than 10 kilometers away from Yungang International Airport. You can also see the ingenious workmanship of nature from the plane. Each individual volcano in the volcano group generally has an altitude of 1,300 to 1,600 meters, a small relative vertical height of 100 to 300 meters, and a distance of 2 to 3 kilometers. Friends who like hiking can bring good equipment, go lightly, and the natural landscape along the way is well protected. It is full of wild interest, and the unique pumice stone of the volcano is everywhere along the way. Climb to the top of the volcano and explore the past and present of the volcano. Of course, cycling and driving are also very suitable. There are few vehicles on the road. The magnificent and symmetrical volcanoes move with the car, and the shapes rotate, showing a different starry scene.
