Ma'an Ling Volcanic Vent, one of the most well-preserved extinct volcanic vents in the world, is called the 'Natural Volcano Museum of China' by geologists.

In addition to the fascinating sights above, the area's parks and zoos are also worth a visit. These include the People's Park, Jinniu (Golden Ox) Ling Park, Binhai Park and Tropical Safari Park.
