China's geological crown jewels just gained another sparkling gem! The Yunyang Geopark in Chongqing has officially joined the prestigious UNESCO Global Geoparks Network, marking a major milestone in global geoconservation.  

This hard-won recognition propels China's total to 49 UNESCO geoparks – cementing its status as the world leader in geological preservation. Yunyang's inclusion celebrates both its scientific wonders and China's commitment to sustainable geotourism.  

Step into a 170-million-year time capsule: The park's pièce de résistance is its staggering 18-km "Great Wall of Dinosaur Fossil", where ancient rock layers reveal prehistoric secrets. Thrill-seekers can peer into one of Earth's deepest sinkholes (a vertigo-inducing 335m drop!), while karst formations sculpt a dramatic natural gallery.  

The state-of-the-art Yunyang Geopark Museum (1,500 sqm) brings this legacy to life through immersive zones showcasing:  

- Rare fossil exhibits  

- Breathtaking geological formations  

- Rich biodiversity  

- Cultural heritage displays  

With UNESCO's stamp of approval, Yunyang emerges as the ultimate destination where science, adventure, and nature collide. Geotourism just got its newest superstar!
