One Day Tour to Chengjiang Biota Museum

At 08:30 am, our guide will meet you in the hotel lobby and transfer to Chengjiang Biota Museum. It takes approximately 1.5 hours on the road. Mostly you will enjoy a fast ride on high speed through beautiful countryside.

Upon arrival, you will enter the Chengjiang Biota Museum and have a little relaxation before having lunch at local restaurant. Then you will spend whole afternoon visiting the most significant Lower Cambrian fossil assemblages in the world.

Chengjiang Biota Museum, founded in 1984, is the most varieties assemblage of Early Cambrian marine fossils known. This diverse in the range of organisms shows clues to rapid evolution during the Cambrian Explosion and reveals the new information on life style in a complex ancient ecological system. The Chengjiang deposit, and a little younger Burgess Shale, both exhibit important guides to diversity and evolutionary rates during the early Phanerozoic diversification event known as the Cambrian explosion. As we try to understand the situation surrounding exceptional preservation generally, not just during the Cambrian, Chengjiang provides an important and different perspective on depositional conditions.
