Highlights:
Tunggur Dinosaur Cemetery, about 10 kilometers away from the urban area of Erlianhot, is a desolate and barren land. It is famous for the large number of dinosaur fossils found here. Now a Cretaceous Dinosaur Geopark has been established here. There is currently no direct public transportation to the park, and tourists can charter a car in the urban area of Erenhot. It is especially suitable for bringing children to play here, and it is a good popular science attraction. 70 million years ago, the Tungur region was once a kingdom of reptiles with lush trees and extensive lakes. With the drastic changes of the earth, the dinosaurs and many reptiles that lived here for ten or twenty million years have become extinct, and this has become a world-famous treasure trove of animal fossils. Now, when you come to the gate of the scenic spot, two "Wanlong" sculptures come into view. The park has a dinosaur fossil in-situ burial museum, a dinosaur science museum, and a mineral crystal museum. Visitors can watch dinosaur fossils and mammal fossils of various periods in the Erenhot area in the park. There are also many simulated dinosaur models in the open air of the park. There are corresponding text introductions in each dinosaur exhibition area, as well as cross-sectional views of the surface rock formations. . In the venue, the scene of the life of ancient dinosaurs is well restored, and the excavation process of dinosaurs is vividly shown to tourists.
