On July 28, the first museum of salamander in the world – China Salamander Biotechnology Museum opened to the public on trial, marking an end of the lack of technological and cultural attractions in Zhangjiajie.
Located at Wulingyuan Scenic Spot in Zhangjiajie City, the two-storey museum sets up eight sections including “Biological creature”, “Home of Salamander”, “Exploration of Salamander”, and “4D Theater”. Integrating science popularization, travel and art into a whole and taking the geological evolution of the rarely-seen quartz sandstone peak forest of Zhangjiajie as its background, the museum employs advanced multimedia techniques of sound, light and electricity to unveil mysteries of salamanders and highlights the theme of “nature, humanity, technology”.
