世界恐龙谷
World Dinosaur Valley is divided into three parts: a hot springs resort, a geological park and a dinosaur-themed amusement park. The geological park is probably the biggest drawcard. It includes a major fossil site where the remains of a huge number of dinosaur skeletons have been discovered. Around 60 of the dinosaur skeletons are on display at a museum built at the site.

Unlike Old Jinshan Town, this is a real historic town and has numerous old buildings dating from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The town can easily be visited on a day trip, though limited accommodation is available for those who wish to stay overnight.
