A Geological Park at the Intersection of Liaoning, Hebei, and Inner Mongolia Creates Six World Firsts, Yet Remains Largely Unknown
Introduction:
Sometimes a scenic area or region is located at the intersection of cities, and because it shares resources from two cities, it develops rapidly into a city that is booming between the two cities. However, it can also be the opposite, because it is located in a remote area between cities, historically little visited, so it leads to the city's slow development, even its name is not well known. Including the city's own inherent advantages will also be ignored. There is one such place in Liaoning Province, Yangyang City in western Liaoning Province, although it is not at the intersection of the three provinces, but it has a world geological park at the intersection of Liaoning, Hebei, and Inner Mongolia. Even creating six world firsts, but its name is still not well known.
We are all familiar with Yangyang City, it is a city with a history of 1700 years of building history, a historical and cultural famous city, historically also the Three Yan Ancient Capital, with abundant tourism resources within it, not only natural resources, but also many historical and cultural sites, it is 'China's Excellent Tourist City'. We also know that Yangyang City discovered the Pigeon Cave Human Fossil Site, the Nihe Li Shan Cultural Site, with a splendid Hongshan culture, pushing China's civilization history forward by a thousand years.
For Yangyang, we are most familiar with it being called 'the first flower blooming place in the world, the first place where the first bird flew'. It has the reputation of 'the source of flowers and birds'. It discovered the 'Chinese Dragon Bird', the oldest bird in the world, and the 'Liaoning Ancient Fruit', the first flower to bloom in the world. It is these two living fossils that made Yangyang's name well known all over the world. However, we know that the 'Chinese Dragon Bird' and the 'Liaoning Ancient Fruit' were discovered in Yangyang City, but few people know exactly where they were discovered, how they were discovered, and where they are displayed – a series of questions. This is also a difficulty facing Yangyang City, although it discovered the world's earliest bird 'Chinese Dragon Bird' and the 'Liaoning Ancient Fruit', but few people know that it all happened in Yangyang Bird Fossil World Geological Park, and this geological park created as many as six world firsts, but its name is still not well known.
Although few people know the name of the Bird Fossil World Geological Park, it cannot obscure its achievements. The geological park's main geological relics are fossils, fossil-bearing layers, geological structures, with the world's most complete 'Hot River Biological Group' rare and precious fossils, especially rich in Middle-Jurassic fossils, with uniqueness, completeness, rarity, and a distinctive characteristic, which is regarded as 'the world's fossil treasure trove', and created the longest, largest number, most complete, most abundant layer, the highest research value, and the widest unknown area 'six world firsts'.
Looking at the map, Yangyang City is located in the throat of the Chinese rooster map, located in the intersection of Liaoning, Hebei, and Inner Mongolia provinces. The Yangyang Bird Fossil World Geological Park is located in the west of Yangyang City, although it is located at the intersection of the three provinces, it did not give Yangyang City a favorable condition for development, the Bird Fossil World Geological Park was forgotten in a corner. But we believe that one day more and more people will know that the earliest bird 'Chinese Dragon Bird' and the 'Liaoning Ancient Fruit' were discovered in Liaoning Province's Yangyang Bird Fossil World Geological Park, and displayed in its fossil museum. More and more people will also know that at the intersection of Liaoning, Hebei, and Inner Mongolia provinces, there is a geological park, its name is – Yangyang Bird Fossil World Geological Park.
