General presentation
Wudalianchi
Five dam lakes, recent cones and lava fields make up one of China's most legible volcanic landscapes.
Volcan Laoheishan, Five Lakes of Wudalianchi and Volcanic Museum give the most telling landmarks of Wudalianchi. Together, they form a destination where volcanic landscapes, shores and lakes and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Volcan Laoheishan
Laoheishan is a cone born in the 18th century, surrounded by black lava flows still very little vegetated. A staircase reaches the crater while bridges explore the forms of lava at its base.
Place indismissible
Cinq lacs de Wudalianchi
The five lakes formed when the eruptions barred a river, creating a chain of water between volcanoes. Belvederes and small cruises reveal their disposition better than the urbanized shores alone.
Museum
Musée volcanique
The Geopark Museum explains the historical eruptions, rocks and pioneering ecology of lava fields. Models and samples provide solid landmarks before the Laoheishan trails and their observation on the ground.
