World Tour 18th Country｜Double Volcano Indonesia is here

Highlights of the itinerary: 1. Bromo Volcano, the place on earth that most resembles the moon, to listen to the roar from the depths of the earth 2. Ljen Volcano, the world's largest high-acid lake, feel the beautiful sunrise cloud sea and blue lake match 3. General Madaj waterfall, Indonesia's second highest waterfall, with a drop of 200 meters, because the road was blocked by heavy rain during the race, changed to General waterfall. You will pass through the waterfall during the journey, but I personally think there are many waterfalls in China, if time is tight, you can skip 4. Magic Forest, a small scenic spot, very photogenic when the sun is out, prepare 2-3h time, go as appropriate 5. Mysterious Komodo The Komodo day tour is really a surprise, the legendary version of Padar Island, pink beach, jelly sea crescent bay, Komodo dragon, snorkeling to see Nemo, is the most rich day trip I have experienced. 6. Komodo sunset, too beautiful, watching the sky change from orange to pink to blood red, can't bear to blink, beat Bali haha. 7. Bali I went there for a rest in the middle, Bali is really third-rate scenic spots, second-rate beaches, first-rate hotels, I didn't go to the scenic spots, just picked a net red hotel Ayana to stay for two nights, feel good.

Ijen Resort and Villas is a materialization of a dream. A long time dream which stayed in mind during some decades.    The First Inspiration The story of Ijen Crater was heard for the first time from an old uncle who happened to be sent there joining forced workersīó by the japanese army in the second world war period. It was in his childhood time.  The Solitary Crater, it is so called because of its position, alone out of reach and out of nowhere. It sounded rather intriguing. The old uncle said that it took the whole day walk to cross through the dark jungle, to arrive in a vast open plain area where they had to spend the night before hiking up the mountain on the next day. And the crater was the only interest because it spit out large quantity of sulfur.  #beautifulsunsets#nationalpark#beautifulhotel

Indonesia - mount Ijen

I finally got the chance to visit this active volcano and believe it or not it’s one of the WORLD’s MUST-SEE VOLCANOES because apparently this Ijen Volcano Crater has the world’s largest acidic volcanic crater lake which, the water is actually in UNIQUE turquoise color! Imagine how cool is that! THIS TIME, We are here for the sole purpose of visiting this crater because this turquoise colored-lake within the crater is quite famous for it’s color and the local miners normally call it the Kawah Ijen. This crater is located right on top of the Mount Ijen where you have to hike 3km from the bottom starting all the way up taking the one way narrow and steep trail to reach the top. For a novice like me i would say this is quite challenging to walk and climb in the dark with a torchlight that provides barely enough visibility to see what’s coming your way in a few meters. While hiking and climbing up you can see a lot of old sulfur miners ( some barefooted ) marathon-ing using the same trail carrying a basket each as if racing with each other to reach the top to dig minerals, sulfurs or whatsoever they have to dig to sell it for money, leaving us behind staggering and struggling to make each step forward in reaching the same point of mountain. This is too exhausting but worth the effort when you can start smelling something like the rotting eggs and food as you climb higher because it means that you’re about to reach your destination, the GREEN LAKE! #urbanexplorer #travelinspiration#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#naturalwonders

Here is Kawah #ijen, where you can see Blue flame near by a one kilometers wide turquoise colored lake. This trip start at 1 am as you need to climb up to the 2,799 meters height before #sunrise. If you cannot go up there on time you will not see the blue flame. For me, it’s quite hard to walk up to the mountain because of its slope (also, I’m not really work out person). But don’t worry, there is a service taxi (as in my picture no. 3) all the way up and down if you prefer more comfortable way than walking. However, I have to warn you that it’s not just going up, you have to going down in the carter (no taxi available) around 700 meters under rocks road. Believe me, it’s worth. #merrychristmas

My Ijen Trip!

Mount Ijen, Banyuwangi, Indonesia. A wonderful and memorable trip ...even though we missed the perfect time to see beauty of the blue fire...but we still catched the sunrise ..Don't forget to wear comfortable hiking shoes because there are many hiking waiting for you! It's around 6 km with a hike of 45° so it may be difficult and not recommended for people with health problems and difficulties in breathing and weak heart. In addition, there are many station for stops and toilets. Overall, a very memorable trip ever! #ijen #indonesia

Ethereal Nights at Ijen Crater

Visiting Ijen Crater last October was an otherworldly experience. The crater’s famous blue flames danced eerily in the night, a surreal sight that required a protective mask due to the intense sulfur fumes. Amidst this volcanic marvel, the landscape was dotted with strangely shaped trees, adding to the mystique of the place. The acidic pool, with its stunning emerald hue, contrasted sharply with the surrounding barrenness. It’s a challenging journey, but the unique natural phenomena make it an unforgettable adventure. Truly, Ijen Crater is a testament to Earth’s potent beauty. #Indonesia #ijen

I've seen volcanoes, but never one as gentle as this

I've seen volcanoes, but never one as gentle as this, emitting blue smoke while also forming a blue lake. The smoke from the burning sulfur lingers around the crater for a long time, making the Yizhen Volcano in the morning light appear even more dreamlike.

Mount Ijen | Dare to challenge this blue purgatory in Indonesia?

Why is it Ijen? Unforgettable volcano hiking trip. Asia's only volcano where blue flames can be seen - the heart-shaped volcanic lake with a depth of 200 meters. The world's most acidic turquoise volcanic lake (with a pH value of only about 0.5) About Yizhen Mount Ijen is located on the island of Java in Indonesia. Due to the large amount of high-purity sulfur on the ground near the volcano, it appears blue when ignited by magma. It is precisely because of the cool and mysterious blue magma that it has attracted many photography enthusiasts and adventurers to come here. The mountain scenery here is magnificent and breathtaking, with geological formations eroded by lava resembling the surface of the moon. At sunrise, the sulfuric blue lake changes unpredictably, with a different view every few minutes. At the foot of the mountain are ancient and massive fern plants, as if walking into a Jurassic Park set. About difficulty The overall road condition is mainly composed of gravel road surface, which is easy to slip. It is recommended to wear shoes with strong grip. The climb from the campsite to the mountaintop is about 550 meters, with a total distance of about 3KM. It takes about 2 hours to climb up and about 1.5 hours to climb down. The first half is steep and the second half is gentle. The overall difficulty is relatively low, and there are no very dangerous sections. Regarding fees On the road, there are hand-pushed carts and taxis available to take you up and down the mountain. Round trip costs 250 yuan, and one-way down the mountain costs 100 yuan. Sitting in a bamboo basket and being pushed down the mountain is really exciting, you can experience it hahaha. Time arrangement The peak period of the blue flame is from 4:00 to 5:00, so you need to start climbing around 2:00 in the morning to see it. However, due to recent volcanic activity (March 2023), the blue flame sightseeing is not open and you can only enter the mountain at 4:00 in the morning. For those heading to Blue Fire, make sure to communicate with the guide and make reservations in advance, my friends! Suggested equipment Hiking shoes/trail running shoes, long pants, thin base layer short-sleeved shirt, fleece jacket, and waterproof shell. Headlights and gas masks will be provided by the guide, and you can bring your own water and snacks. Attention Tips: The sulfur gas is very strong! Be sure to switch to a more professional gas mask. The departure campsite has a convenience store and restroom. There is a simple shed with coffee halfway up the mountain. To watch blue fire, luck is also needed, so be sure to keep a calm mindset. 4.30-5.6 Indonesia trip is confirmed.

Below the Kawaii volcano is a geothermal lake. When you are close, you can see the thick smoke. This is the sulphur that is extremely corrosive. The gold necklace that the friends brought in has a layer of black metal. The handle of the SLR camera was also corroded and could not be used. Sulphur is so tearful that it coughs, coughing, and not staying inside for too long. There is also a group of people who use the labor and even life to live in the crater. They collect and carry sulphur. Born, an infernal active volcano that is hard to get close to, has maintained the basic livelihoods of sulphur workers and families. They carry sulphur mines from the crater every day, go up the mountain and go down the valley, and breathe gas. This kind of work is repeated more than 10 times a day for 12 hours, resulting in an average life expectancy of 30 years. After a day of work, the miners can get a meager income of about 35 to 40 yuan, which is extremely difficult to survive. When it comes out, its already getting up early, the hair has been smoked into a sulphur smell, and when you grab it, you can grab a lot of sulfur, 7 I took a car out of the way, and sat in the two-wheeled car that the worker himself modified. It made people feel very excited and felt like driving on a cliff. (A ride of 60 yuan, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, about 3 hours on foot)

A unique blue-fired volcano-Kawaii Due to the large amount of high-purity sulfur on the ground near the Kawaii volcanic crater, they will appear blue when ignited by magma, thus attracting many people. There is a crater lake about 1 km wide on the volcano. The lake has a PH value of only 0.5, which is recognized as the most acidic volcanic lake in the world. Izhen volcano opening time is 2 in the morning

Yizhen volcano is a volcano that can be in contact with static distance. In addition to the magnificent volcanoes, the villages under the hills are surrounded by lush forests. The pace of life here is slower, people are more willing to take some time to talk to you about the future. There is a world of difference between the hustle and bustle of Indonesia's big cities. The Indonesian people are curious about the outside world. In this beautiful country, miracles always happen inadvertently.

The gas ejected from the Kawaii volcano forms sulfur through the fumaroles in the crater. Many young men in the local area ventured to the volcanic sulphur mine to make a living. There are more than 200 miners in the Kawaii volcano in Indonesia. The miners risked their work without protection. They burned the sulphur in the most primitive way, picking them by hand and picking them with their shoulders. They carry 70-90 kilograms of sulfur mines from the crater every day, go up the mountain and go down the valley, and breathe gas. This kind of work is repeated more than 10 times a day for 12 hours, resulting in an average life expectancy of 30 years. After a day of work, the miners can get a meager income of about 35 to 40 yuan, which is extremely difficult to survive.
