Zhejiang Tourism | Longyou Museum, taking you through a thousand years

The Longyou Museum is so interesting! It's the first museum I've visited that talks about geological movements and the process of regional formation. There are many interesting dinosaur eggs and stones, as well as seabed pen worm fossils. The science popularization is very intriguing, and there are also explanatory videos, making for a great experience.

The Longyou residential compound where it's located
is itself a prehistoric site, and during the Qing dynasty, it was one of the twelve scenic spots of Longyou
Here, nestled against the mountains and water, yet with a strong modern vibe, history and modernity are intertwined
