    BEIJING, April 17 -- There's a 160 million RMB investment in a sprawling site over four square kilometers in southwest China's Yunan Province. The site is home to China's largest dinosaur park, the World Dinosaur Valley, which will open on Friday.

    The World Dinosaur Valley brings back from extinction the most mammoth creatures our planet has ever known.

    The 1993 tech-thriller Jurassic Park may offer the ground-breaking visual and sound effects. But this park is for real. With life-sized dinosaur sculptures dotted sporadically around the site, the park sets out to reconstruct geographic conditions during the Age of the Dinosaur.

    The World Dinosaur Valley contains the world's largest burial site of dinosaur fossils from the late-mid-Jurassic period.
