Chaoyang Bird Fossil National Geopark

Liaoning Chaoyang Bird Fossil National Geopark is a miraculous gift of nature. It is the only in-situ fossil-themed park in the world. The fossils of Liaoning ancient fruit and Sinosauropteryx in the museum provide strong physical evidence for the evolution of plants and the origin of birds from dinosaurs. Experts from both China and abroad are amazed by it, calling it a 'major scientific discovery of the 20th century.' This park boasts the largest paleontological fossil museum in China, the world's largest ex-situ protected petrified forest, and a Mesozoic geological corridor. The precious paleontological fossil exhibits in the museum are renowned for six world records. The discovered fossil types almost cover all categories of the Jehol Biota, recording important stages of the evolution of life on Earth. Even more remarkable, four fossils—Liaoning ancient fruit, primitive ancestor bird, Liaoning horned dragon, and Millennium Chinese bird dragon—simultaneously hold four Guinness World Records. Chaoyang truly deserves the titles of 'world-class fossil kingdom,' 'world fossil treasure trove,' and 'Pompeii of the Mesozoic era!' Come to Chaoyang, Liaoning, and experience this magical fossil world!
