China's Leiqiong UNESCO Global Geopark spans Zhanjiang City in Guangdong Province and Haikou City in Hainan Province. It consists of Zhanjiang Park, Haikou Park and Qiongzhou Strait, with a total area of 3,050 square kilometers. It was awarded the title of UNESCO Global Geopark in 2006, and was re-evaluated for the fourth time in 2024 to extend the title until 2028. With the relics of Quaternary volcanic activity as its core, the park has 101 volcanic cones and 7 volcanic eruption sequences, covering lava cones, clastic cones, Maar volcanoes and other types. Among them, Huguangyan Maar Lake preserves 140,000 years of climate sedimentary records and is listed as a benchmark point for global climate change. There are more than 30 lava tunnels distributed in the park, and the basalt coastal landforms include sea cliffs, sea caves and other landscapes.
