In the early morning, watch the sun rise above the eastern volcanic cluster: Molabu Mountain, East and West Longmen Mountains, Xiaogu Mountain, East and West Jiaodebu Mountains. At dusk, admire the sunset glow spreading across the western volcanic range: Wohu Mountain, Bijia Mountain, Laoheishan, Huoshaoshan, South and North Gelaqiu Mountains.
