A dinosaur exhibition was recently held in Huating town, in the Jiading district of Shanghai.
A total of more than 30 species of dinosaurs, from different eras and different categories were on display attracting 4,000 visitors in two days. The exhibition lasted till March 9.
On entering the exhibition hall, a tyrannosaurus, which is 3 meters high and more than 4 meters long, comes into full view, and it seems to be safeguarding its own territory baring its mouth full of sharp teeth. And there are also over 30 Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs hiding in the grass on both sides of the passageway.
As visitors walk into the induction area, the dinosaurs snarl, swing their limbs, and shake their heads and tails. The scene makes people feel like they have been transported back to ancient times.
“I frequently tell my child stories about dinosaurs, and on hearing the news of this dinosaur exhibition, I immediately brought my child to visit the exhibition”, said a visitor called Zhu.
In the exhibition, children can not only see dinosaurs, but also experience the feeling of “Eragon” by riding on a Psittacosaurus. Furthermore, the sponsor has also provided a 3D film about dinosaurs for visitors to see for free.
