Leiqiong Geopark belongs to the epicontinental rift volcanic belt that crosses the Leiqiong Strait in the southern end of China. The park is characterized by a variety of volcanos,the good preservation, the typical lava flow structures and huge lava tunnels. There rare geologic landscape is appreciated to be a natural museum for Quaternary basaltic volcanos, As a tropical ecological representative of volcanic island, the park is pretty distinguished among the same type geologic landscapes for great scientific significance and aesthetic values. The geopark has become popular place for geologic research work ,scientific study and environmental education.
