In March 2008, the museum site was officially approved and construction began. The chosen location is at the intersection of Mendaochuan and Changshechuan, nestled by the picturesque Jingniang Lake. Within the museum area, the main building harmonizes with the northern peninsula, the eastern and western cliffs, and the southern entrance, creating a uniquely styled, thematically clear, and profoundly meaningful attraction. As the centerpiece of the geopark, the Geological Museum highlights the park’s canyon peak forest and red cliff Danxia geological features, showcases the long, rich, and magical cultural heritage of Wu'an, displays the diverse range of mineral types and the history of resource utilization, and envisions a promising and inspiring future development outlook. The museum was completed in October 2009, with a total construction area of 8,200 square meters and a total investment of 46 million yuan.
The main structure of the Geological Museum consists of five floors above ground and three underground, serving as a multifunctional comprehensive facility integrating academic exchange, scientific research, teaching and research, science popularization, sightseeing, vacation and leisure, entertainment and shopping, as well as accommodation and dining.
On the ground floor, the first level houses the museum exhibition halls and a multifunctional hall. The second and third floors contain guest rooms, the fourth floor is for lounges, and the fifth floor features an ultra-luxury revolving restaurant. The basement level (B1) is a banquet hall, B2 has luxury private dining rooms, and B3 hosts a large conference room.
