On April 23, it was reported that the cliff crater of Ijin Volcano in Indonesia was blocked by a police cordon, after a 31-year-old Chinese female tourist fell to her death in a canyon dozens of meters deep while taking pictures on the edge of the Ijin volcanic crater in Indonesia on the 21st.
Albi, a local travel guide, confirmed to a reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning News (breaking news: xxcbbaoliao) that since yesterday afternoon, a cordon has been pulled up on the edge of the cliff mouth, winding around the Internet celebrity tree, and the word "forbidden" is written on the reminder board.
I don't know if it will be demolished in the future, but as a tourist guide who often visits the area, he thinks it's good, "It's safer to avoid accidents because this place is dangerous and we hope that no one forces anyone to take pictures in this place." ”
Xiaoxiang Morning News previously reported that on April 21, the news of a Chinese female tourist who fell to her death while taking pictures at the Izhen volcano in Indonesia continued to attract attention. According to insiders, the 31-year-old female tourist traveled to Indonesia with her husband. At 2:10 a.m. on the day of the incident, they took a guided trip to Mount Ijen to watch the sunrise and see the famous travel wonder "Blue Flame". Before falling off the cliff, the female tourist wanted to take a photo near an Internet celebrity tree, and in the process of checking in, she accidentally tripped over the long skirt she was wearing, rolled backwards and fell into a cliff about 75 meters deep.
Albi told reporters that during the evacuation, he had traveled with the husband of the female tourist who had been killed, and the other party could not hide his grief, "I just wanted to talk to her husband and buy him food and drinks." ”
It is understood that Izhen Volcano is located in the eastern part of the Indonesian island of Java, and claims to be "the only place in the world where you can see blue flames", and near it, there is a crater lake about 1 km wide, known for its rich sulfur, and is recognized as the most acidic volcanic lake in the world. Due to its geological wonders and peculiar geographical location, after entering the Internet era, this scenic spot has attracted tourists from all over the world to check in all year round.
A tree growing on the edge of the cliff of Mount Ijin accidentally became a source of safety hazards.
Many netizens shared photos of "taking a commemorative photo" with the tree on social platforms, which made the Yizhen Volcano Tree popular on the Internet. However, in these photos, tourists have different postures, some stand in front of the tree and take a group photo, and some people sit on the tree despite the overhanging cliff below.
An Internet celebrity blogger with more than 70,000 followers on a platform shared a photo of himself checking in to Yizhen Volcano in October 2023: hanging upside down on a tree branch, letting his falling hair flutter in the wind. So far, this graphic post has been liked by 136,000 accounts. Some netizens in the comment area replied that the finished film effect is very good, and they want to learn to imitate it......
The tour guide who led the group involved in the crash recalled that at that time, the female tourist insisted on taking pictures here because she saw beautiful photos taken by her friend in the same place before. At first, she actually chose to take photos in a safe position about 2 to 3 meters away from the crater rim, but later in order to get a better angle to get a shot, she was closer to the trees behind her, and in the process of retreating, she accidentally tripped over the long skirt she was wearing, causing her body to lose her balance and fall into the cliff......
According to media reports, there have been foreign tourists who tried to check in and take pictures in similar places before, and almost fell from a height.
