Chinese tourist falls to her death while taking photos on edge of active volcano in Indonesia

A tourist has died after falling to her death while taking photos on the edge of an active volcano in Indonesia.

The 31-year-old Chinese citizen, Huang Lihong, was on a guided tour of Ijen — a volcano park in East Java — with her husband on Saturday when she tragically fell into the crater, according to Hongxing News.

The couple hiked to the top of the volcano to watch the sunrise when the horrific incident happened.

According to reports, the tour guide said the woman kept a safe distance from the edge of the crater after being warned multiple times of the dangers while she posed for photos.

The woman then accidentally stepped backwards on her long clothing, tripped, and fell into the volcano.

According to authorities, Lihong’s body was retrieved after two hours and her death has been ruled an accident.

Her body has reportedly been flown back to China.
