Lishui outdoor natural museum – the first outdoor museum in China – was recently established with the cooperation of the College of Life Science Zhejiang University and Baishanzu National Park in East China's Zhejiang province, according to local officials.

They said the various rich wildlife and natural landscape resources in Baishanzu National Park, located in an area administered by Lishui city, make up the natural exhibits of the outdoor museum – and it was of great significance for the public to get close to nature and understand nature.

The outdoor museum has eight planned exhibition lines, four of which were opened to public recently.

All the lines have different features, such as cliffs and strangely shaped pines, waterfalls, plants and animals that are specific to the region.
