Hiking the Alchemy Furnace Volcano 🌋

The Ulan Hada Volcano Group, also known as the Liandanlu Volcano（Alchemy Furnace Volcano）, is located in Chahar Right Wing Banner, Ulan Qab City, Inner Mongolia. It is more than 400 kilometers from Beijing and has a total area of 65.9 square kilometers.

I visited with a tour group. We opted to go by train. The train ride was roughly a little over 2 hours. We then took an additional 2 hour bus ride to the volcano.

I was surprised as to how popular this site is. We were greeted with a long line of traffic and an alarming amount of visitors. When planning your trip to this site, pay keen attention to your itinerary to see what it allows.

The walk to the top of the volcano is roughly 30 minutes, depending on your hiking skill set. I must warn you that the unofficial hiking trail is made of pebbles that make it really difficult to hike up without slipping a couple times… so hike at your own risk ⚠️ At the top of the volcano you’ll be greeted by a breathtaking view so it’s definitely worth the risk.

if you’re a nature lover then this site is perfect for you! Feel free to walk around and explore this beautiful space. You can even mix things up a bit by ordering space suits that are available on site for rental (approximately 150-250 rmb).


Overall, it was a great experience. I can finally cross hiking a volcano off my bucket list ✅
