Lufeng

Lufeng (禄丰, Lùfēng) is a county-level city in Chuxiong Prefecture, Central Yunnan.

Understand
Lufeng is perhaps best known for its dinosaurs fossils. Hundreds of complete dinosaur skeletons have been discovered here since the 1930s. The best place to see them is at a park called World Dinosaur Valley, which is where the richest of Lufeng's fossil sites is located. The Lufeng Dinosaur Museum in downtown Lufeng also has a significant collection of dinosaur fossils.

Like most county-level cities in China, Lufeng has many towns, which are geographically separate from each other. The main town is the town of Jinshan (金山, Jīnshān).

Get around
Both taxis and buses are available. The most useful bus from a traveller's point of view is probably the no. 10 bus, which goes to World Dinosaur Valley and can also be used to get to the Lufeng Dinosaur Museum. You can catch the no. 10 bus from the bus stops outside the railway station and the bus station.

Sleep
Unfortunately the hot springs resort at World Dinosaur Valley does not accommodate foreigners. However, there are several hotels in downtown Lufeng where foreigners can stay.
