- The Jingbo volcanic field is in the Jingpo Lake region of Heilongjiang province[3]
- The Keluo volcanic field may have had historic eruptions [4]
- The Kunlun Volcanic Group last had an eruption on 27 May 1951, and consists of at least 70 pyroclastic cones [5]
- The Longgang volcanic field contains 150 scoria cones but only one of holocene age [6]
- the Qionglei volcano group (also known as the Leiqiong volcanic field) stretches across the Qiongzhou Strait north of Hainan island – so is made up of two parts:
- The Hainan Dao volcanic field is the southern part consisting of 58 Pleistocene-Holocene tholeiitic cones[7]
- The Leizhou Bandao volcanic field is the northern part including the stratovolcanoes Tiangyang and Yingfengling as well as several pyroclastic cones, it lies just west of Zhanjiang City[8]
- The Rehai geothermal field which is part of the Tengchong volcanic district (Tengchong) has had 20 hydrothermal eruptions since 1993 [9]
- The Tianshan volcano group contains the historically active cone Pechan[10]
