ijen Ijen volcano is the world's most acidic volcanic lake, the blue flame erupting from the inside of the crater can only be seen at night, a large number of high-purity sulfur burning under the ignition of the magma, producing a blue flame, known as "hell blue fire" and flowing the earth's "blue vein blood".

I have to say, the Ijen volcano is really beautiful and stunning: but it's also dangerous. It takes two hours to climb alone. And the road is very steep, heart rate rises very fast! Recommended physical strength is not very OK people directly choose Lamborghini!

It's much harder than Mount Bromo! Be prepared to expend a lot of energy and endurance. No protection at all. The road is gravel, see or decide that life is worth it, but this life will only go once! It won't happen again! From the top of the mountain, it is very difficult to walk down the mine path to the bottom of the mountain to see the blue fire, but it is worth it when you succeed in the sulfur lake and the blue fire!

The walking journey generally starts from midnight, it is recommended to charter the group to the entrance of the scenic spot, if you live in the hotel near the pier, you need to get up at 2:30 am to arrive before the gate opens at 4:00! Want to shoot the sunrise as fast as you can walk faster! Sunrise around 6:00.


Gravel dirt road is easy to slip, to wear non-slip shoes! It is impossible to walk and there is a human pulling car, the locals call it "Taxi" Lamborghini! Sulfur dioxide smell difficult to wash, you can wear old hardshell jacket or down jacket, do not wear silver jewelry or items, will be smoked into silver sulfide! Don't wear contact lenses.

Usually do not do exercise, Bromo can ride in front of me, I feel that the distance is OK, ijen I must directly sit on the "Lamborghini", the result! Even the next section of the basic unwalkable road, well, well, only my guide efforts to take me down, this time I feel that the legs are going to break, finally see the blue fire!

If you climb the whole way, you will reach the blue fire about five or six, it can be said that all people, basically 80% of the Chinese people, blue fire basically in addition to crowded people, but also need to resist sulfur smoke, inhale really the whole person is very uncomfortable, gas mask effect is very small.

However, seeing the most acidic volcanic lake in the world, the only blue fire in the world, and the stars and the Milky Way in the sky, seeing the sulfur pool, I was smoked and cried. Lamborghini's sitting there, too. I lost all my clothes. good.

But it's hard to get close to the blue fire and take greasy photos!! Although wearing a gas mask but eyes really difficult to open!! It's so smoky!! There are people all around! It was like a war.

Finally, the fire saw the photo at dawn, the pain began again, we have to climb back to the original way, once again to the top, but at the moment the scenery on the top of the mountain really let me admire!!! Eyes are very open, the sky is like a canvas rendered by the morning glow, beautiful, but once again remind you that there is no safety protection here, everyone should be careful and careful ！！！！

When the Indonesian brother played "see you again", the sense of fatalism was full, and the journey of life and passing by a group of people, and a group of people who experience life and death, love life and freedom, perhaps this is the meaning of life. Finally IJEN is beautiful, the first time I go, should also be the last time, because it is so tired.

The return route is the same as the departure route, and I feel that I am a real warrior after I can see the road at dawn.
