A geological museum beside the Keichousaurus fossil site in Wusha Town, displaying more than 350 fossil specimens, with Hu's Keichousaurus as the star exhibit.
In 1957, fossils of Hu's Keichousaurus (Keichousaurus hui), about 240 million years old, were first discovered in Wusha Town, Xingyi, which is why the area is known as the 'hometown of the Keichousaurus.' The museum is located beside National Highway 324 in Wusha Town. It displays more than 350 fossil specimens, about 80 percent of which are Keichousaurus, along with crinoid, dinosaur egg and Wusha flying fish fossils. It also explains the formation of karst landscapes such as Wanfeng Karst Forest and the Maling River. Fossil restoration and rubbing workshops can be booked for study tours. You must book in advance through the official mini-program with real-name registration. Opening hours are roughly 08:30 to 17:30, extended in peak season, and admission follows official announcements.
