The predecessor of Xinchang wood fossils was trees such as pine, cypress, fir, ginkgo, and quail growing in the virgin forest hundreds of years ago. Due to the changes in the earth's crust, the logs were buried deep underground and long-term by the silica solution. Plant fibers were replaced by silica precipitated and filled, forming wood-shaped silica rocks. So called siliconized wood. These lifelike prehistoric fossils, reproduce the body and texture of the year, it is an important data to study the paleoclimate, crustal changes and paleobiological history of East China.

Wood fossil dinosaur park is a small attraction in the Xinchang Big Buddha Temple scenic area, mainly to appreciate the previous trees after years of underground, become stones, of course, there are some artificial small dinosaurs as foil.

The geological relics in the Xinchang Silicized Wood National Geopark Park in Zhejiang constitute a unique natural scenery, Danxia landform, "Baiya Tianzhu" landform, magical siliconized wood and mountain valleys, constitute a landscape painting of "thousand rocks competing, thousands of streams". Especially the exposed Cretaceous ancient forest (silica wood hundreds of millions of years ago), has been identified in the area of 6 siliconized wood buried layers, in nearly 6 kilometers 2 siliconized wood more than 300, the maximum diameter of 3.5 meters, known as the king of siliconized wood in China. The trunk can reach up to 16 meters. Buried method is clear, regular, or upright or oblique, or tree roots or branches, high degree of siliconization, hard stone, different shapes, wood structure, annual ring is very clear, can be called the Cretaceous god wood holy place.

Unfortunately, some of them are being repaired, the overall feeling is good

Very easy to use, very fast

The direction card of the attraction can be refined a little bit. Since walking up the mountain, it feels a bit laborious to find the attractions. It may be that many attractions were closed during the epidemic, and there was still a time problem, so I didn't go many places. I have the opportunity to see it again next time.

The beautiful scenery of my hometown 👍🏻
