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!

The volcanic geological park is 12 kilometers away. There is a scenic spot with a columnar joint. The rocks formed by the volcano are arranged in a hexagonal columnar shape, like a bundle of firewood, lamenting the magic of nature. Is it the energy stick of Optimus Prime that has fallen? [laughter]

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 volcanic magma eruption is 1200 C. When the magma is cooled to 800 - 900 C, the magma crystallizes and forms columnar joints. Because magma contains plagioclase, olivine, amphibole, pyroxene and other minerals of hexagonal column, it forms hexagonal column after cooling, which is called : columnar joint. Here stands a large area of volcanic eruption eruption of magma not exposed to the surface after condensation of the formation of columnar crystals, geologically known as "columnar joints", the local people are vividly called it "Shenzhu".
