Stone Story Mineral Park — a national 4A-level premium tourist attraction. “Open sesame” above ground, mysterious treasures below. Centered on rare stones, fossils, and gemstones, it combines science education, leisure shopping, and sightseeing tourism. It is the world’s first amusement park themed around gems and minerals, standing out distinctly compared to zoos and botanical gardens.

Above ground, “Open sesame” welcomes you to a lush green space scattered with fascinating stones. In front of the fan-shaped main building stands a pyramid made of 91 stone balls (each weighing 1.5 tons and measuring 100 cm in diameter), creating a majestic presence. It symbolizes the unity of all things and the path to eternity.

The park also features a very unique “Ancient Forest,” which is actually an exhibition area of petrified wood. Hundreds of petrified wood specimens, aged hundreds of millions of years, “grow” here. Visitors walking along the “forest paths” can feel the ancient forest atmosphere and marvel at the wonders of nature. In front of the “Ancient Forest” lies a square lawn surrounded by clear water, blooming flowers, and leaping fish. At the center of the lawn stands a Tang Dynasty-style shrine housing the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, symbolizing favorable weather, peace, and prosperity. Beneath the lawn is an underground parking lot that accommodates up to 200 cars, protecting vehicles from sun and rain. The park also creatively includes a five-star gem-themed restroom, decorated with numerous gem elements, colorful and translucent, bringing visitors a sense of joy.

Below ground lies a world of mysterious treasures, including zones such as the Time Tunnel, Meteorite Stone, Amber & Beeswax, Night-Shining Gem, Imperial Seal, Treasure Hall, and Spirit Jade. Among them, the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast is an unparalleled stone banquet, the Coral in the Ocean Dream, and the Crystal Guanyin in the Crystal World together form the twelve highlights of the mysterious treasures. Visitors first learn about “The Story of Stones” in the theater, then proceed through various themed exhibition areas to experience the wondrous processes of mineral formation. The Meteorite Stone exhibition hall displays gifts from outer space; the Night-Shining Gem hall lets you admire magical glowing stones; crystal ores are the earth’s treasures formed over millions of years, the sprites of stones connecting to the universe; the Four Great National Stones captivate with their vibrant colors. The theme mall offers classic Stone Story products, allowing visitors to enjoy the joy of shopping at the source. The romantic Crystal Restaurant serves drinks like wine and coffee, along with authentic cuisine. Its unique crystal elements and dreamy ambiance provide an unforgettable experience, making it a great spot for business meetings or romantic dates.

In front of the fan-shaped building stands a pyramid made of 91 solid stone balls, each 100 cm in diameter and weighing 1.5 tons, creating a majestic presence. It symbolizes the unity of all things and the path to eternity. In front of the stone ball pyramid is a concentric circle plaza, which serves as a leisure area for visitors and can also function as a stage for performances, offering dual purposes. Around the plaza, twelve zodiac stone statues stand in a row, vivid and lifelike.

On the east side of the park’s stone sculpture garden is a natural green belt. Amid the shaded lawns stands a Tang Dynasty-style shrine housing the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, exquisitely crafted and lifelike. Beneath the shrine is an underground parking lot that accommodates over 200 cars, protecting vehicles from sun and rain. The park also features a unique “Ancient Forest,” a petrified wood exhibition area where hundreds of ancient petrified wood specimens “grow.” Visitors can walk along the “forest paths” to feel the ancient forest atmosphere and marvel at nature’s creativity. The park also innovatively includes a five-star gem-themed restroom. The entire restroom is decorated with abundant gem elements, colorful and translucent, providing visitors with a special sense of delight.

Each stone tells a story. Stone Story Mineral Park is a three-dimensional showcase of China’s jade culture. Rare minerals from around the world, miracles created by ancient life, beautiful gemstones we all know, and the “stone stories” closely tied to human civilization are all gathered here, presenting an unprecedented stone feast. It brings more people closer to stones, helping them understand and appreciate these natural wonders.
