## About Volcanic Cluster Global Geopark

The Haikou Volcanic Cluster Global Geopark contains a group of extinct volcanic craters formed by eruptions about one million years ago. Many visitors come specifically to see the Maanling Crater. The Guanhai Pavilion on the ridge is the best vantage point for the crater, and you can reach the top on foot in just 15 minutes, with sweeping views over the Qiongzhou Strait. The area is also known for two local specialties: volcanic rock mineral water and Shishan goat.
