DIYU notes
More than 1,800 specimens appear in this permanent exhibition, including hokutolite, Jinguashi native gold, Fengtian nephrite, and lunar rock. On a first visit, begin with minerals from Taiwan and end at that small piece of the Moon. The distance from the island beneath your feet to the lunar surface is reason enough to stand there for a while.
