Beijing's largest dinosaur project Ancient Exploration has officially opened to the public in Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park since May 21.

The project, covering an area of 20,000 square meters, features 60 dinosaurs, including tyrannosaurus rex, pterosaur and diplodocus.

There are also interactive areas in the park where visitors are able to experience the living environment of dinosaurs and feel the excitement to see dinosaurs approaching, through virtual reality technology.

People can also play role games as hunters, or enjoy time on a glass bridge, man-made beach and tree houses.

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the park has invited 30 people of all ages to enjoy the new dinosaur program for free, and presented them T-shirts with dinosaurs as gifts.
