Tungul Dinosaur Cemetery, about 10 kilometers away from the urban area of Erenhot, is a desolate and barren land. It is famous for the large number of dinosaur fossils found here. Now the Cretaceous Dinosaur Geopark has been established here. There is currently no direct public transportation to the park, and tourists can charter a car in downtown Erenhot. It is especially suitable for bringing children to play here, and it is a good popular science attraction.
70 million years ago, the Tungul area was once a kingdom of reptiles with lush trees and extensive lakes. With the dramatic changes of the earth, the dinosaurs and many reptiles that lived here for 10 to 20 million years became extinct, and it became a world-famous treasure house of animal fossils. Now, when you come to the gate of the scenic spot, two "Wanlong" sculptures come into view. There are dinosaur fossil in situ burial halls, dinosaur science museums, mineral crystal museums, etc. in the park.
Visitors can see dinosaur fossils and mammal fossils of various periods in the Erenhot area in the park. There are many simulated dinosaur models in the open air in the park. There are corresponding text introductions in each dinosaur display area, as well as cross-sections of surface rock formations. . In the venue, the scenes of ancient dinosaur life are well restored, and the excavation process of dinosaurs is vividly shown to tourists.
