The Sino-German Paleontology Museum is the main exhibition hall of the Jinzhou Paleontological Fossil and Granite National Geopark in Yizhou, Liaoning Province. It also serves as a Liaoning Provincial Science Popularization Base and a Yizhou County Science Education Demonstration Base. The museum was officially completed and opened to the public on August 18, 2008.
Located 13 kilometers northwest of Yixian County in Jinzhou City, beside National Highway G305 in Hejiaxin Village, Toutai Town, the museum covers an area of 40,000 square meters. Its design prominently highlights the characteristics of paleontological fossils.
The scenic area features a paleontological fossil exhibition hall, a fossilized wood forest, a professional excavation site, Jingsi Lake, a log cabin camping area, and other garden landscapes. Leveraging its unique advantages, the Sino-German Paleontology Museum not only carries out geological tourism and geoscience popularization but also undertakes global business in the reproduction and rental of paleontological models. It has specially developed courses for youth extracurricular practice, including DIY small fossil model making, stratigraphic section investigation and identification, simulated fossil excavation and restoration, making it a popular base for study tours and parent-child trips.
Stroll through the birthplace of the Yixian Bolong, wander among precious fossils from home and abroad, explore the traces of ancient life, experience the fun of fossil excavation and restoration firsthand, and observe the reproduction process of large and medium-sized dinosaur fossils. The Sino-German Paleontology Museum will surely make your visit worthwhile!
