It's worth visiting. It's a national border area with rare scenery. The wind was incredibly strong, at level 6. I bought a hat and gloves at the train station entrance, and the wind was so strong I almost fell over. My nose was running.

I visited during the off-season, so there were very few people, allowing for a thorough visit. The park is primarily dinosaur-themed, featuring fossils, sculptures, and explanations of the excavation process, making it more suitable for families with children. Electric shuttle buses connect the various exhibits, which is very convenient for those who don't want to walk.

There is no charge, just drive straight to the roadside. There is a dirt road of about 300 meters past the exit. A car can drive slowly to the big slope 200 meters away from the palm. If you don't have an SUV, don't try to go downhill. You can see the palm of the Buddha from a distance on the slope. If you want to see the whole view, it is best to bring a drone. It is about two kilometers away from the Dinosaur Park.
