A museum built on a fossil world heritage site in Yuxi, Yunnan

🏨 Chengjiang Fossil Site Natural Museum 📍Detailed address: The museum is located in Chengjiang City, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province 🚉Travel strategy: It takes about an hour to drive from Kunming, and you can also go to Fuxian Lake to play at the same time, the scenery is very beautiful! 🕙Business hours: Visiting tips: The museum's opening hours are Tuesday-Sunday 09:00-17:00; free visit, need to make an appointment in advance or on-site; Playing time is 2-3 hours, because the museum is really too big and the content is very rich! 🌟Highlights: So what are the magical places in this museum? 1、 This is a museum built on a fossil world heritage site, which is listed on the World Heritage List and is China's first fossil world heritage. The museum's hall has a huge fossil site, and the museum also collects more than 60,000 rare paleontological fossil specimens and extant animal specimens from around the world; 2、 The museum takes the "big explosion of life, big evolution of life, biodiversity" as the main line, showing the Chengjiang biota and precious paleontological fossils and extant animal specimens collected from all over the world, and interpreting the Cambrian explosion of life and the evolution of life on earth from multiple angles and levels; 3、 The Cambrian explosion of life can be seen as an "origin point" of today's animal diversity. Taking vertebrates as an example, in the Chengjiang Fossil Museum, you can find one of the oldest vertebrates: a small fish "Kunming fish" about 3 cm long, this fossil is also known as the treasure of the town hall. ❤Recommended reason: It's not an exaggeration to say: Chengjiang Fossil Site Natural Museum is a seriously underestimated place, if it weren't for a friend's suggestion, I really wouldn't think of going! Before I came, I thought this place was more suitable for bringing children to play, but after I came, I was really amazed, those tens of thousands of years ago biological fossils are just in front of my eyes! 👍Most recommended: In the long river of time, what do those small setbacks we encounter in life count? This is probably the precious significance of going to a billion-year appointment!
