Currently there are more than 30 known, mainly in the eastern part of the Datong Basin can be divided into East, West, North and South of the four areas. In many Eastern Fort, Shinsen temple area. West Park and claws Xiping north region. Southern District is south Sangganhe. Gushan District lines around the north of Datong. According to the volcanic external morphological characteristics, can be divided into four categories: First, dome-shaped, consisting of basalt flows, there is no crater, such as hair pimple Gushan and Mindanao. Second, the shell-like, basalt, such as volcanoes and Xiao kiln Daxinzhuang volcano. Third, the semi-circular, the Department of fractured volcanic eruptions along the mountain front ejected from the flow according to the hillside. Fourth, the horseshoe-shaped by basalt flows, pyroclastic interbedded composition, after the volcanic formation, water cut through the crater, shaped like a horseshoe shape, such as the East Pingshan, Jinshan. In addition to the horseshoe above the volcano has been cut through red rinse, the rest only in the narrow cone surrounded by a shallow valley, indicating erosion of volcanic landscape is still in its infancy. Volcanic eruptions and underlying strata overlying contact judgment, Datong volcanoes is the product of the late Pliocene, the beginning of the Late Pleistocene Malan loess number of activities, the earliest event is the North, Eastern, Southern, followed by West New. Our Datong volcano - accurate to speak up, this is a more than 30 seats in full has beautiful extinct volcanic cone of about 900 square kilometers within the community. This is a huge volcano remains a typical family Quaternary volcanic activity, their location is just in the middle of the East Wing and Sangganhe Datong basin wide flat valley. Geology and Geography workers will Datong volcanic communities were divided by the geographical position east, west, south and north of the four regions, which is located in the northeastern part of the county now Datong is a part of the Western volcanic landscape of the most densely volcanic cones and most spectacular. Most of their altitude between 1100 m to more than 1400 meters, probably due to the broad flat valley landscape against the backdrop of one of these volcanic cone towering into the sky like a ghost underground, mostly showing a mighty and mysterious, the most famous who then, as Jinshan, Montenegro, Mountain wolf's den, Gelao Hill, Double Mountain, Horseshoe Hill, Tiger Hill and Haotian Temple Hill. Indeed aerial view from a height of Datong volcanic communities should be the richest and most mood and distinctive image. One such as the Western volcano crater diameter greatest mountain wolf's den that is, up to about 500 meters, was almost perfect circular shape, Yamaguchi average depth reaches 30-50 m, which is the group Datong volcanic crater of the most profound one. Hao Tian Shan, which is Haotian Temple Hill, West Datong natural crater most complete one-dimensional body, found in a bird's eye view or even less than tens of thousands of years of water erosion acting on the mountain left little trace. It is located in the northeastern suburbs of Datong County, this small town has become one of the most significant natural markers. Why is it called "Haotian Temple Mountain"? This is because as early as the Ming Dynasty, the locals had in the mountains when the roof above - ie the crater in the middle of the Buddhist temples built a temple called Haotian, it will have the name Haotian Temple Hills . If the satellite photographs taken from the point of view of the volcanic cone of Montenegro are squirming crawling like a "big jellyfish", then, using the same method to observe Jinshan about two kilometers west of the volcanic cone outside of Montenegro, it is more like is a summer night sky is burning bright Shining "comet", the "tail" is not only vivid and large long (about 300 meters, Yamaguchi outflow formed when magma eruption), and white flash. Gelao again from a height overlooking the mountains, it's shaped like a gold for "hearts", because of its radially around the erosion ditch full of texture, so sent from "Heart", "gold" becomes even more charming. East Pingshan volcanic cone from the far west of the volcano dense zone, which is located in Datong county east about two miles away, because the volcanic eruption of lava flows toward the southeast jet stream, and therefore on the southeast of the volcanic cone left a Obviously gap, which makes the whole gap is like a volcanic cone crown vivid giant horseshoe child. "Over time, the East Pingshan so they have another nickname, that is," Horseshoe Mountain. "In short, the high-altitude visual Datong volcanic cone West group under the image of the group that is simply living thing, a group of living things with life forms.

Datong volcanoes located in the northern Shanxi Province, Datong Basin east, about 30 km from Datong, volcanoes area of about 700 square kilometers, there are 22 volcanic cones, lava cones and most are composed of layers of pyroclastic material shaped volcanic cones, lava mainly alkaline olivine basalt, the measured isotopic age of the oldest of 98 5 years, generally 40 million to 54 million years, the youngest of the heat-emitting age 9 8 years, so spray activities since the beginning of the Early Pleistocene to Middle Pleistocene based, and continued until the late Pleistocene. Volcanic ejecta often sandwiched Datong Lake Pleistocene lacustrine sediments, also found in the ancient Sangganhe alluvial deposits, aeolian material, slope sediments and loess layer. Datong is a Chinese famous volcanoes Quaternary volcanoes. Known to have more than 30 seats, located in Datong county and Yang Gao County, concentrated in four regions: ① Eastern refers Guayuan, Shenquan temple area, there is Xiao kiln, goose pimple, etc. 6. Xiao shield-shaped kiln volcano volcanic bombs, lapilli, ash composition, partially covered lava flows; dome-shaped volcanic basalt goose pimple, no crater. ② Southern District Sangganhe and rowed between mountains, including DYK, West kiln 5, basalt flows along the fault is due to ejection, the hillside semicircle. ③ West is a district of Datong volcanoes in the most concentrated and more complex, Montenegro, Horseshoe Hill, Gelao Hill 15 genus. Montenegro's largest, was flat dome-shaped; most extensive mountain range wolf's den, crater 500 meters in diameter, Northwest has notched; Horseshoe Hill and Hill Gelao by the pyroclastic material composed of flattened cone, there are gaps, the shape of a horseshoe. ④ Gushan District to the north of Datong, represented, including its southwestern six small volcano. Gushan shape of bread, 1,182 meters above sea level, towering in the Imperial River valley. Datong volcanoes in the initial attack, the underlying three-toed horses Lishi loess or clay, overlying Malan loess, as the late Pliocene and late Pleistocene Malan loess product started. Its earliest form to the North, Eastern, Southern, followed by West at the latest.
