Huoshao Mountain
火烧山
A volcano that erupted at the same time as Laoheishan, with a horseshoe-shaped crater rim and unusual piles of lava; ideal for close observation.
Huoshao Mountain lies northeast of Laoheishan. It is one of the two most recent volcanoes in the Wudalianchi area and erupted at the same time as Laoheishan in the early 18th century. The mountain is not tall. One side of its crater has broken open in a horseshoe shape, and the surroundings are heaped with reddish-brown volcanic cinders and various lava flows that look as though they were scorched by fire, hence the name. Trails within the scenic area allow close views of the crater and lava flows. It is often visited together with Laoheishan and the Shilong lava plateau. Admission and shuttle bus fares follow the scenic area's published rates. The trail is covered in loose gravel, so watch your step.
