Chengdu Natural History Museum

A huge museum! We originally went to see the children's art exhibition, but since we were already there, we also visited the museum's exhibits. The categories were very detailed: dinosaurs, gorillas, lions, birds, butterflies… it really is a huge encyclopedia! It's definitely worth bringing children to visit, allowing them to learn more about nature through hands-on experience. The tickets are also very affordable, making it especially suitable for family trips.

This was the most satisfying hotel of the trip. It's a large hotel with many places to explore. We saw swans, and even casual snapshots turned out quite nice. The park was well-maintained. The staff were also very welcoming and attentive. I'm planning a second stay with my family.

The most worthwhile part to see are the various dinosaur skeletons, which are quite impressive. The tour also introduces some of Sichuan's geological features, including specimens and replicas of natural landscapes from the upper layers. It showcases many different types of animals, making it suitable for educational outings with children and for young people looking for a fun and interesting experience.

The temporary exhibition hall of Chengdu Natural History Museum held the "Disappearing World, Them and Our Future - Endangered Animal Art Photography Series Touring Exhibition". In recent years, the world has been experiencing high temperatures. The Arctic glaciers, Greenland ice sheets, West Antarctic ice sheets, and East Antarctic Wilkes ice sheets have accelerated their melting. A large number of fires and insect disasters have begun to appear in the boreal forests of North America. The permafrost in Russia in the northern hemisphere has begun to thaw. The speed of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current has begun to slow down. The Amazon rainforest has reduced precipitation and frequent droughts. Australia's warm-water corals have begun to die on a large scale...•• Today, when global warming has moved from "behind the scenes" to "forefront", humans are facing a choice: either coexist harmoniously with all things in nature, or destroy everything and then perish. For every species missing on the earth, humans lose a safety net. It is time for humans to stop and wait for their souls and reflect on our relationship with nature. Today, when the world is facing a crisis, the Other Shore Art Institute has planned and organized the "Disappearing World - Them and Our Future: Endangered Animal Art Photography Series Touring Exhibition". Tim Flack (Tim Flack) Flach is the most influential animal photography artist in the world today. He treats animals with the same attitude as he treats humans, understands and feels their living conditions, and calls for equality of life! Around the world, from the depths of the sea to the mountains over 6,000 meters above sea level, Tim Flach is shooting with his life. There are many animal photographers, but using artistic techniques and humanistic spirit to resonate and communicate with animals, and photographing animals, especially endangered animals, in the form of portraits, while giving them dignity and presenting their beauty is unique. His creative method is unique. The "Disappearing World - Them and Our Future: Endangered Animal Art Photography Series Tour" is held to voice the protection of endangered animals and the living environment of humans, and to use artistic language that strikes the soul to arouse people's awareness of ecological civilization: pay attention to the earth, pay attention to life, and pay attention to the common home of mankind. Alert people: protecting disappearing species is to protect humans themselves - for their and our future!

Chengdu Natural History Museum finally opened its doors to the public. It is said to be the first museum in Sichuan jointly built by the province and the city, the government and universities. It is also the largest natural museum in Sichuan, filling the gap in the natural museum category that Chengdu cannot match Chongqing. 1. Location: Opposite to Chengdu University of Technology at Erxianqiao, it is also the school museum of Chengdu University of Technology. During the Anti-Japanese War, Chongqing was the wartime capital, and many universities moved to Beibei, Chongqing. It was another place for the establishment of the National University of China in addition to Lizhuang and Kunming. There was a Lu Zuofu in Beibei, a well-known industrialist and educator, who collected many dinosaur fossils and paleontological fossils and gave them to the National University of China. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the disciplines of the National University of China were unwilling to move back and took root on the spot. Therefore, today the Chongqing Natural History Museum is in Beibei. Due to the adjustment of colleges and universities after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the geological-related disciplines of the National University of China were integrated into the Chengdu University of Technology. In this way, the University of Technology has the best geological resources in the country, and got the Hechuan Mamenchisaurus fossils given to them by the National University of China, which became the treasure of the school. Before the Chengdu Natural History Museum was built, I went to see Mamenchisaurus three times but failed. Fortunately, the government found that Chongqing actually had the best natural history museum in the central and western regions. How could they swallow this humiliation? Finally, they decided to build a natural history museum based on Mamenchisaurus and geology at the University of Science and Technology. That’s how it was born. That’s why the cultural and creative pocket of the Chengdu Natural History Museum has the name of the University of Science and Technology. 2. Highlights: The Chengdu Natural History Museum is relatively large and is divided into four sections: geology and minerals, Sichuan dinosaurs, the origin of life, and other categories. (1) Geology and minerals refer to Sichuan geology rather than Chengdu, because there will not be another Sichuan Natural History Museum. It will introduce the origin of the universe and the origin of the earth, and then introduce Chinese geology, and finally settle in Sichuan, telling how this ancient sea basin became what it is today, and why Gongga, the king of Shu Mountain, is separated from Siguniang Mountain, the second after Shu Mountain. It also exhibits many minerals and jades to show the strong geological advantages of the University of Science and Technology. (2) Dinosaur exhibition area. The branch of dinosaurs was introduced in great detail, with the focus on Hechuan Mamenchisaurus. They even made a simulated version of Mamenchisaurus, using high-quality materials, and it is definitely not comparable to street stall goods. Mamenchisaurus is not only found in Hechuan, Chongqing, but also in the area from Anyue to Chongqing. It is not called Mamenchisaurus, but Mamingxisaurus, which means the neighing of horses when drinking water. This is because Professor Zhang, who discovered it from Shaanxi, had a heavy yellow earth accent, and his assistant misheard it as Mamenchisaurus and wrote it into his paper, which was then certified. It is the largest dinosaur in Asia, and the world may only have Brachiosaurus to compete with. The most ferocious carnivorous dinosaur in China is also at the junction of Sichuan and Chongqing, and is the Yongchuansaurus in the upper reaches of Yongchuan Reservoir in Chongqing. Because it is a Chongqing signature, there is not much introduction. In addition, they also made a fake Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil. Although it is fake, it looks very real, but it is not marked as a replica. Overall, the dinosaur museum alone is much better than the Zigong Dinosaur Museum (3) Life Origin Area. Sichuan has the most complex terrain in China, with rich terrain and many types of vegetation, so there must be many animal species. The life zone mainly highlights this point. I don’t have time to comment. (4) Other categories are a bit like the Chengdu Museum’s Beilin Donated Animal Exhibition, which includes some relatively rare animals, and the insect exhibition that may be borrowed from the Huaxi Insect Museum in Qingcheng Mountain. It should also be worth seeing. Chengdu Museum is worth visiting repeatedly. I am proud that Sichuan finally has a natural museum that can be shown off. I recommend it with five stars.

It is worth going for couples on a date. I personally think it is worth spending more time to see the following: Dragon Travel Sichuan and Chongqing Hall, Dinosaur Secret Hall, Colorful Life Hall (the specimens are very complete and exquisite). Bringing children on weekends will help them to learn more and feel the miracle of life.

As soon as you step into the museum, the magnificent building appearance is eye-catching. The perfect fusion of modernity and natural elements seems to tell the magic of nature and the wisdom of mankind. The exhibitions in the museum are rich and varied. The huge fossils in the paleontological exhibition area make people seem to travel back to ancient times and feel the majesty of those creatures that once dominated the earth. The geological exhibition area vividly shows the geological changes in the Chengdu area, giving people a deeper understanding of the land under their feet. The natural ecology exhibition area is like a beautiful picture scroll, presenting various ecosystems in front of you. The interactive experience of the museum is also excellent, allowing visitors to better understand natural science knowledge through participation. The staff is warm and thoughtful, and the explanations are professional, which adds a lot of fun to our visit. In short, the Chengdu Natural History Museum is a tourist destination that cannot be missed. It allows us to appreciate the beauty of nature while also knowing how to cherish and protect our home planet.
