Her tour guide said that he had warned her and her husband about the dangers on the crater.
The Ijen is well-known for its “blue fire”, which is in fact blue light emitted from the combustion of sulfuric gases.
Ms Huang Lihong, 31, and her husband Zhang Yong, 32, were on a guided tour to Ijen - a volcano tourism park in East Java province - when the couple climbed to the edge of the crater to watch the sunrise, Hongxing News reported.At first Ms Huang kept a safe distance of two to three metres away from the edge of the cliff as she posed for photos, said the guide.
But as she walked backwards, she accidentally stepped on her long clothing and fell off the cliff. It was not clear if she was wearing a dress or skirt. The volcano regularly puffs out small amounts of noxious gases but the site stays open to the public.
