The first of its kind to be housed in a commercial complex in China, this non-State-owned museum boasts over 8,000 rare fossils, minerals, and specimens. Its exhibits showcase 4.6 billion years of Earth's evolution – serving as both a research hub for geology and paleontology and as an immersive experience for fascinated visitors.
