| Crater Underground Forests of Mudanjiang |
|
The crater underground forests in the mountains northwest of the lake
leave many tourists in speechless awe.
The volcanic eruption that took place ten thousand years ago left
behind a dozen craters of different sizes and shapes, and in them
tourists can find virgin forests of purple pine, fir, dragon spruce
and many other rare trees, most of which are hundreds of years old
and over 20 meters high. The third crater, 300 meters in diameter
and 100 meters deep, is the largest of all. Tourists can go down man-made
stone stairs to the lower part of the crater to get a closer look
at one of nature's wonders. |
