A journey through time and space, the Zhucheng Dinosaur Tour
Zhucheng, formerly known as Mizhou, is a treasure trove of dinosaur fossils and is known as the 'Dragon City of China'. It harbors a wealth of dinosaur fossil resources, with more than 30 dinosaur fossil sites discovered. There are over 10 new genera and species of dinosaur fossils unearthed, including the 'Giant Shandong Dragon', 'Giant Zhucheng Dragon', 'Zhucheng Triceratops', 'Unexpected Zhucheng Ceratopsian', 'Giant Zhucheng Tyrannosaurus', and 'Zhucheng Sitting Ceratopsian', among others. The scale of the dinosaur fossil and footprint groups is so significant that paleontologists have acclaimed it as a 'World Dinosaur Fossil Treasury', and it has been recognized by the UNESCO expert group as a world geological wonder that is rarely seen across the globe.
Leveraging this unique dinosaur fossil resource, Zhucheng has meticulously created a 'One Square Four Halls' tourism complex, consisting of five major attractions: the Zhucheng Dinosaur Museum, the Zhucheng Tyrannosaurus Museum, the Zhucheng Dragon Cube Exhibition Hall, the Zhucheng Triceratops Museum, and the Zhucheng Stegosaurus Museum. These attractions focus on exploring the Cretaceous dinosaur world, experiencing the primitive life of dinosaurs, feeling the sacred and magical presence of dinosaurs, and appreciating the charming dinosaur culture as their core content, providing tourists with a distinctive 'Dinosaur Tour' travel route. Zhucheng's dinosaur culture tourism is not only unique in China but also has a great attraction for global visitors.
