Dinosaur at the Dinosaur Museum at Zigong

1988 Trip to City of Zigong, Sichuan

22. Dinosaur Museum, Zigong

It is 1988 and scientists have just begun to realize that the dinosaurs didn't drag their tails. This is one of the smaller dinosaurs on exhibit at the museum. We spent a pleasant few days in Zigong. We had some delightful meals and pleasant conversation with some of the natives. Not too many foreigners visit Zigong. Zigong is a small city by Chinese standards. The population is probably in the neighborhood of a million. Once one of our students remarked that he lived in a small town of Bading. When I asked how small he casually replied that it had about 950,000 inhabitants. Now that is a small town by Chinese standards.
