A museum of the World Geopark that uses specimens, models and video to explain the formation of Danxia landforms and the ecology of Danxia Mountain.

It is the thematic museum of the Danxia Mountain World Geopark, displaying red-bed rock specimens, landform evolution models, and the park's flora, fauna and human history. It helps visitors understand why this landform is called “Danxia.” Admission is free or included in the ticket, and opening hours should be confirmed on site. It is generally closed on Mondays. It is recommended to spend about an hour there on arrival, before heading up the mountain, to get more out of the visit.
