Long ago, a warm climate and an abundance in rainfall provided the ideal conditions for lakes and vegetation to flourish across the mountainous terrain of Zhucheng of Shandong.

The ample water supply and lush vegetation earned this place the nickname "dinosaur paradise", where massive beasts such as the Tyrannosaurs, the Triceratops, the Ankylosaurs, and duck-billed dinosaurs roamed freely.

Today, as dinosaur remains are gradually rediscovered, the veil of the "dinosaur city" of China has been slowly lifted. Here, you will find the tallest duck-billed dinosaur in the world, the largest Tyrannosaur-themed museum in the country, and realistic, animatronic dinosaurs of varying types that snarl, sway, and roar.

Let's take a journey back to the Cretaceous period to explore the vibrant "dinosaur paradise" that once thrived on this land. (Edited by Huang Junyao)
