A Prehistoric Adventure Across 200 Million Years

Guiyang Karst Park・Fossil Exploration​ ▫ 【Where are the hundred-million-year-old fossils?】​ At the park’s "One Line Sky" stone forest cliff, 3 meters high, lie two ancient creature fossils with exposed spines, resembling lizards but with super long tails, suspected to be Mesozoic Guizhou dragons! It’s recommended to enter from the north gate and follow the route "Yongshou Pond → Lotus Bridge → One Line Sky" to search. Moss-filled stone crevices near the fossils also hide scientific expedition clue cards~ 【Karst Landform Activities】​ • Stone Forest Waterfall Check-in: Stand on Lotus Bridge to capture a panoramic shot of the "water curtain + stone peaks." At 2 PM, sunlight creates a rainbow in the waterfall spray​ • One Line Sky Challenge: The narrowest spot is only 50cm wide. When squeezing through sideways, remember to have your companion capture the silhouette of the "adventurer in the crevice"​ • Fossil Science Easter Egg: Scan the QR code to follow the park’s official account, enter the "Dinosaur Code" to unlock expert voice explanations about the fossils Qingzhen Dinosaur Town・Jurassic Carnival​ The dinosaur science base features a 20-meter-high Brachiosaurus model that shakes its head and sprays water. An infrared thermometer shows a "skin temperature of 38℃," making it super lifelike. The "Dinosaur Lab" lets you assemble a Guizhou dragon fossil model by hand; complete the challenge to earn a "Junior Archaeologist" certificate. The "Ride the Triceratops" activity (30 RMB per ride) is perfect for families, with safety buckles on the dinosaur saddle. The "Glowing Dinosaur Eggs" of the nighttime light show are hidden in the bamboo forest; find 3 to exchange for glowing dinosaur wristbands. The best spot to photograph the 8 PM fireworks show is behind and to the left of the central plaza. Drones can capture the "dinosaur light displays + fireworks." The fossil area in Karst Park has no sunshade, so wear a wide-brimmed hat in June (UV rays are strong). The nighttime light show ground in Dinosaur Town is slippery; wearing non-slip shoes is safer than sandals. Both parks require reservations: search "Yuyue Qianxing" on WeChat and register one day in advance (free). When the sunset gilds the karst stone peaks, and the lights of Dinosaur Town gradually come on — left hand holds the hundred-million-year geological code, right hand holds the roaring mechanical dinosaur. This kind of Guiyang day trip is truly a "time travel" experience! 🦕✨​ #GuiyangFamilyTravelTopChoice #JurassicInTheCity #FossilArchaeologyGuide
