Daqing, a hidden gem in Northeast China | Discover the most hardcore museum city in China!

| Discover the most hardcore museum city in China! 🛢️🏛️ When oil wells become city totems, and mammoths travel through millennia to meet your gaze, this industrial legend of Northeast China tells the most awe-inspiring Chinese stories through its museums.

📍 Touch the Ice Age at Daqing Museum
In the largest Quaternary mammal exhibition hall in Asia, 278 real mammoth fossils form a long scroll of migration. Standing in front of the ancient animal group of Northeast China, even your breath carries the tremor of ancient times. Here lies the codebook of the Earth, with each mottled fossil reconstructing the epic of life since the Cambrian period.

🛠️ The hardcore romance of Daqing Petroleum Science and Technology Museum
Touch the miniature "Songji No. 3 Well" and see the kilometer-long rock core spread like tree rings in the "Underground Palace Corridor." From the nodding donkey model to the holographic oil extraction demonstration, you will understand how this city, born of oil, uses the power of technology to make the black gold from 3,000 meters underground gush forth as the lifeblood of industry.

👷 The light of faith at the Iron Man Wang Jinxi Memorial Hall
The figure of Wang Jinxi jumping into the mud pool is cast into a bronze group sculpture, and the aluminum helmet of the 1205 drilling team still tells the oath of "willing to live 20 years less." Here, the spirit of the Iron Man is not a slogan, but a city gene soaked in oil.

🚩 A time-traveling trio
From prehistoric beasts to industrial totems, from wilderness bonfires to modern oil capitals, Daqing connects 50,000 years of time and space on the Northeast China Plain with its museum cluster. While other cities are still gazing at the stars, Daqing has already put the entire history of the Earth into display cabinets.

No city understands the language of the Earth better than Daqing, Heilongjiang. It uses 3,254 oil wells as punctuation marks to write the most passionate poem of Chinese industrial civilization on the Songnen Plain. It uses deep drilling to clearly present the historical changes of Northeast China to you. In 2025, come and have a conversation with the time 3,000 meters underground! In addition to the three museums mentioned above, Daqing also has the Daqing Petroleum Museum, Daqing Planning Exhibition Hall, etc. Please follow the relevant official accounts to check the opening hours before visiting.
