As a historical museum, the Ningxia Lingwu Dinosaur Geological Museum displays the world's largest dinosaur femur replica and the original Asia's largest dinosaur model - the replica of the Sichuan Hechuan Mamenchisaurus, which is 22 meters long and 10 meters high. There are also animal fossils such as the dromaeosaur, the oviraptor and dinosaur eggs, the wolf-finned fish, the loon, the skull of the large-lipped rhinoceros, and the turtle. The Lingwu dinosaur fossils were identified by Xu Xing, a researcher at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and an internationally renowned dinosaur expert. They belong to a rare branch of the diplodocids - the forkbacks, and are large new sauropod herbivorous dinosaurs of the Mesozoic Middle Jurassic, about 160 million years ago. The Lingwu dinosaur is one of the largest species of sauropod dinosaurs known in China. Some data, such as the length of the dorsal vertebrae, even exceed all known dinosaur species. The diplodocus was discovered for the first time north of the equator. The Lingwu dinosaur can be called the "first dragon in the northern hemisphere" and is a national treasure-level dinosaur fossil. The Lingwu dinosaur fossil site is the largest dinosaur fossil discovered in China so far, with a concentrated distribution, complete preservation, and an undamaged Souvenir environment. It is of great significance to the study of sauropod dinosaur morphology, taxonomy and systematic evolution, and provides important information for understanding the Mesozoic geography and the formation of global paleozoological geography. It provides precious physical materials and important scientific information for displaying prehistoric ecological landscapes, studying the geography and climate of the ancient northwest region, the reproduction, migration, extinction of dinosaur species and the theory of the drift of the earth's continental plates.

Very good, ready to go again in spring
Too remote, very single, less than one meter 2 is also charged, although dinosaur fossils are not bad, to be developed.

There are two layers in total. The first floor has two pits. A glass cover is surrounded and looked in the middle. The other pit is stepped on the glass and looked down. There are two dragons. Then there is a pit upstairs. There are several keeles. A screening hall introduces Lingwu. There are several fake dinosaurs in the wasteland outside. The ground is pierced with a sole. There is also a cute pet paradise. There is a rabbit in it. A few peacock pigeons like the Dawukou Museum of paleobiology. There are more things than this and it is free.
