Tips on how to enjoy your walk
It is a gigantic 5 meter high, 12 meter long Tyrannosaurus. Have fun watching the powerful motion of its head as it dynamically moves more than 2 meters up and down. The surroundings recreate a wetland from the Late Cretaceous period. Look closely and you will see lotus and other plants.
We recommend taking a commemorative photo with the high-rise buildings and trolley in the background.
Muster up your courage and get closer!
When you approach the Tyrannosaurus from the front, it will notice you and with a roar and a glare give you an awe-inspiring greeting.
Finally, it will strike a pose by opening its mouth wide for a not-to-be-missed photo opportunity.
Take some photos of something you can only see here - a dinosaur in the middle of the city!
- Take a photo with Happiring and skyscrapers in the background!
- If the train arrives behind you, you’re in luck! Take a shot with the train in the frame!
- The moment it opens its mouth move in so close that you can see its razor sharp teeth and snap an awesome photo!
