Shanghai Youlong Stone Cultural Science Museum

The Shanghai Youlong Stone Cultural Science Museum, located near Pudong International Airport to the east and close to Shanghai Disneyland to the west, is a domestic tourist attraction themed around the systematic display of stone culture. It is also one of the science education bases in Shanghai. Entering the original karst cave is akin to a fairyland on earth—featuring dozens of large stalactite pillars, the majestic Lion’s Head, cascading waterfalls, and lush green peaks, all showcasing a myriad of forms and shapes carved by nature. Through an original ecological experience, visitors can feel the evolution of life, the progress of human evolution, and societal advancement. Everything evolves from the primitive to the progressive, from lower to higher levels, and from barbarity to civilization. In this deep and winding karst cave, we will witness the unknown wonders of nature and the extraordinary landscapes carved by nature’s hand, leaving a deep impression on everyone. The treasure of the museum—the Chinese Golden Toad Stone—resembles the map of China and looks like a golden toad crying upwards, symbolizing that this land of China is filled with auspicious prosperity and peace. Many renowned geological experts, stone connoisseurs, and scholars have praised this stone as the spirit of heaven and earth, a gem among peculiar stones, and a stone full of aura and good fortune.
