In Albay Province, southeast of Luzon Island in the Philippines, stands a natural wonder - Mayon Volcano. This active volcano is about 2,462 meters above sea level. It is famous for its nearly symmetrical cone shape. The conical mountain has smooth lines, like a giant natural pyramid. It is surrounded by clouds all year round. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and blue sea, it is majestic and magnificent. Since records began in 1616, Mayon Volcano has erupted more than 50 times. Its eruption activities have shaped a unique geological landscape, with the crater constantly changing and a vast volcanic ash plain formed around it. Despite the threat posed by the eruption, it has also brought fertile soil to the local area, making the surrounding area an important agricultural production area in the Philippines, rich in crops such as rice and coconuts. The volcano is surrounded by a rich ecology and is home to many animals and plants, including rare birds, mammals and diverse plants. At the same time, Mayon Volcano occupies an important position in Philippine culture and is regarded as a sacred place with many ancient legends circulating. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction in the Philippines, and tourists can appreciate its magnificence up close through hiking and observation decks.
