Volcanic fields in China

• The Arshan volcanic field is found in the Greater Khingan mountain range, it contains more than 40 cenozoic volcanic cones. ^[1]
• The Honggeertu volcanic field consists of 12 cinder cones which may be holocene ^[2]
• The Jingbo volcanic field is in the Jingpo Lake region of Heilongjiang province ^[3]
• The Keluo volcanic field may have had historic eruptions ^[4]
• The Kunlun Volcanic Group last had an eruption on 27 May 1951, and consists of at least 70 pyroclastic cones ^[5]
• The Longgang volcanic field contains 150 scoria cones but only one of holocene age ^[6]
• the Qionglei volcano group (also known as the Leiqiong volcanic field) stretches across the Qiongzhou Strait north of Hainan island – so is made up of two parts:
  • The Hainan Dao volcanic field is the southern part consisting of 58 Pleistocene-Holocene tholeiitic cones ^[7]
  • The Leizhou Bandao volcanic field is the northern part including the stratovolcanoes Tiangyang and Yingfengling as well as several pyroclastic cones, it lies just west of Zhanjiang City ^[8]
