Lookout Swan Mountain, also known as the “15 Daogou”, is located in a massive caldera created by a huge central eruption and was created via overflow into a volcanic basaltic cone. Due to the volcanic activity in the valley, the landscape is very unique.
It offers a spectacular scenic view of the surrounding area, and most of the local geological attractions are located within about 13 km of it.
The mountain gets its namesake from the fact that from afar its shape looks like a swan with its head held high.
