Baoding Ancient Animal Museum Guide

To the north of the rivers and lakes, there lies a secret realm that has accumulated over hundreds of millions of years—"Baoding Ancient Animal Palace". Our group of adventurers, after many twists and turns, finally set foot inside its gates. 1. Geographic Location and Transportation: The "China Ancient Animal Museum (Baoding Natural Museum) Baoding Paleontological Palace" is hidden amidst the hustle and bustle of the Lianchi District. There is no need to elaborate on the details here, one only needs to pay attention to its official WeChat account, where the geographic secrets are thoroughly revealed. If you wish to visit, driving is the best option, as its parking lot is vast and convenient, like a paradise on earth. 2. Tour and Exploration: Upon entering the hall, you embark on a fantastical journey through time. The first stop is "Pulse of the Earth", followed by a visit to the "Mineral Sanctuary", crossing into the "Ancient Ocean", and facing the majestic shock of the "Dinosaur Empire". On the second floor, spread your wings and soar in "Feathered Flight", tracing back to the mysterious origins of the "Mammalian Ancestors". Then step into the "Mammalian Renaissance", all the way to the light of human intelligence, "The Rise of Mankind". Mourn the pain of extinct creatures in "Extinction Elegy", and finally, warn the world of the disaster of "Illegal Wildlife Products". The route is winding and profound, yet some areas on the second floor are not fully open, as if shrouded in mist, waiting for the day to clear. 3. Secret Codes and Taboos: To the right of the palace, stands the "Tourist Service Center", where travelers can receive the "Baoding Prominent Stamp" mark, which can also be imprinted on one's private guidebook. At the entrance, one must first pass through strict security checks, and be aware that only power banks with a capacity of up to 10,000 mAh are allowed, a rule different from other museums, and prohibited items must be stored here. Adult adventurers can pass through with an ID card, while children need to exchange for a unique token at the front desk after the security check, using the reservation voucher as a guide to scan and pass. Although there are automatic water vending machines inside, there are no restaurants to rest, and seating is scarce. In spring and summer, remember to travel light to avoid sweating profusely. 4. Treasure Hunting and Local Chronicles: Upon exiting the palace and descending the stairs, one can find the renowned "Xinhua Bookstore", where the first floor houses "Belin Natural World". By registering as a member or spreading the word in the martial arts world, one can receive a red silk pouch. Here, various rare and exotic animal toys and cultural and creative accessories are sold, a feast for the eyes. There is also the "Earth Ice Cream" and "Ice Cream Fridge Magnet" set, priced at forty-five, with the ice cream available at a coffee shop further down the road, and the fridge magnet available for purchase at Belin Natural World. As for "Luckin Coffee", it was not open for business that day, perhaps in closed-door cultivation. However, both the second floor of Xinhua Bookstore and the coffee shop offer aromatic coffee, a good place for rest and replenishment. 5. Advice from the Martial Arts World: This palace is rich in treasures, with a unique architectural layout and exhibition design, and an abundance of interactive experiences, showing the dedication of its owner. However, the new museum still appears immature, such as insufficient promotional efforts, lack of guidebooks, and absence of special tickets and stamps for adventurers to commemorate, as well as no dedicated cultural and creative shops to attract attention. In addition, there is no dining area inside the museum, and although there are taverns outside, they are not cost-effective. Moreover, the museum map is like a maze, urgently needing clear signage; some areas are still partially hidden, and distant friends may wish to wait for the exhibition to be fully prepared before visiting, to avoid a wasted trip. The ticket entrance is crowded, especially during holidays, with many children, making the scene somewhat chaotic, and the ticket exchange process quite cumbersome. In summary, although the Baoding Paleontological Palace still has room for improvement, it remains an excellent place to explore the mysteries of life and appreciate the charm of nature. Looking forward to it becoming more mature in the future, and shining as another dazzling gem in the martial arts world.
