Introduction:
Shanghai Natural Museum is one of the largest natural museums in China, located in Jing 'an Sculpture Park. The venue is like a unique "green snail". Today, the new museum displays tens of thousands of specimens with rich contents, especially the skeleton of a Canadian Chinese Mamen Xilong, which is about 26 meters long. It is the largest dinosaur in Asia and the longest in the world.
The new building has five floors, two floors above ground and three floors underground. Usually, you will visit from the second floor on the ground in turn, and the whole journey will take about half a day to one day. Please allocate your strength. The last floor underground is the richest exhibition area. There are 10 permanent exhibitions in the museum, which are divided into three systems: natural evolution, living environment and human civilization.
The "Mystery of Origin" exhibition hall on the second floor shows the course of human exploration of the universe, the astronomical telescope models from ancient times to the present, and the graphic introduction of astronomical knowledge. In the cinema in the corner of the exhibition hall, you can also watch a small 3D movie about meteorites.
The "Long River of Life" exhibition hall on the first floor displays a large number of animal specimens such as snakes, monkeys and peacocks. The huge Mamenxi dragon model growled and twisted its neck, which was particularly realistic. The most interesting thing is to experience the natural exhibition area, through which you can observe live butterflies, chameleons, jellyfish and other animals at close range; It is a very rare experience to go to the seawater touch pool and touch marine life such as starfish, sea cucumber and anemone.
The "Road to Evolution" (underground level) presents visitors with all kinds of animal bones and fossils, from the explosion of life in Cambrian to the appearance of human beings. Not only can you see a wide variety of dinosaur fossils here, but when you open the museum's official "augmented reality" APP and aim at Lu Fenglong's skeleton according to the prompts, two 3D Lu Fenglong will appear on the screen, as if you want to jump out of the screen to say hello to you. Very cute. Don't miss friends who like dinosaurs.
The second floor underground is the richest floor in the whole museum, which contains five themes: survival wisdom, earth exploration and colorful life. If you look at this floor carefully, you will spend a lot of time and energy. It is suggested to choose the most exciting part, focusing on sightseeing. The "Ecological Vientiane" area uses animal specimens and model props. 1: 1 restores the ecological scene of the African savannah: giraffes and hippos are strolling on the vast African savannah, gazelles are evading capture, and a group of lions are sunbathing, which is quite a bit like watching the animal world; In the "Colorful Life" exhibition area, the "Butterfly Wing Painting" composed of 1200 butterfly wings is always accompanied by tourists taking pictures; The Discovery Center is children's favorite, and you can experience the sense of accomplishment of digging fossils. Friends who travel with their parents must not miss it (you need to make an appointment in advance).
After the tour, you might as well go to the souvenir shop to find some peripheral gadgets as souvenirs. Arctic fox dolls, mugs with elephant heads and handles, amber wrapped with complete insects, etc. Very cute. Most of these dolls cost more than 100 yuan. Although the price is small, they are worth it. There is a restaurant on the right side of the second floor and a small cafe on the second floor underground. You can get something to eat when you are tired of shopping, and the price of the food is moderate.
