乌兰哈达火山地质公园因整建关闭
The famous Wulanhada Volcano Geopark in Chahar Right Back Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, has been closed for renovation, reports Beijing Youth Daily.
内蒙古察哈尔右翼后旗著名的乌兰哈达火山地质公园因整建而关闭。
The geopark, which is only about 380 kilometers from Beijing, was called a natural "volcano museum" for its peculiar geological structures, such as volcanoes, lava fields and barrier lakes.
As many as 6,000 tourists from across China can be drawn to the park in a single day, according to local tourism authority.
However, the ever increasing number of tourists has surpassed the reception capacity of the geopark, which has poor infrastructures and a fragile grassland environment.
On Monday, local tourism authorities released a formal notice, forbidding any unauthorized entry to the park.
The notice added that the date for the park to open again is unknown at the moment.
