    I visited the park several years ago, and this time I took my child to school while the whole family went for a stroll. It was still as popular as ever, and the shows were just as wonderful, making it a place I never wanted to leave.

    That's great! It's worth coming. There are so many shows, you can't watch them all. The Three Attacks on Zhu Family Village is so realistic. The interior design is innovative. I'll definitely come back for two days next time. I didn't get enough of it. The food is very cheap, and the water and drinks are very affordable, about the same price as outside!

    Kaifeng Prefecture (also known as Kaifeng Palace), located on the north bank of Bao Gong East Lake in Kaifeng City, Henan Province, covers an area of ​​over 60 acres. It was an important institution in the Northern Song Dynasty for managing the capital and surrounding areas, and was hailed as the "Premier Prefecture Under Heaven." It is now a Song Dynasty cultural theme park.

    This stay was absolutely fantastic! The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, the room was spotless and odor-free, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the bathroom's separate shower and toilet area was a thoughtful touch. The service was impeccable; from check-in to check-out, the staff were always smiling and welcoming, and responded to every request very quickly. Excellent value for money, I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time!

    This is a really fun scenic spot with excellent value for money. I only spent a little over 100 yuan to get an annual pass, so now I can enjoy myself to the fullest. There are many shows inside the scenic area, and the performers are very professional.

    The Baogong Temple is a shrine-like building dedicated to Bao Zheng, showcasing his life and deeds. It's small and simple in layout, consisting of three courtyards. The first serves as the main entrance. The second is the main building, the Baogong Temple. Two portraits of Bao Zheng are displayed here, and the third focuses on clean governance. There's also Baogong Lake in the back.

    Longting Scenic Area in Kaifeng is a landmark of the ancient city. Longting is not actually a pavilion, but a palace complex of the Song Dynasty imperial palace. Now, it hosts an annual chrysanthemum exhibition every autumn: from mid-October to November 18th this year. It is one of China's five major chrysanthemum exhibitions, with hundreds of varieties of chrysanthemums lining the imperial road, creating a "sea of ​​chrysanthemums." Chrysanthemums from all over the country compete in beauty, but the colorful chrysanthemums that are very popular with visitors come from Nanjing. The spore-shaped arrangement designed by Nanjing Agricultural University is also very interesting. Of course, chrysanthemums from other cities are also not to be missed. Besides the chrysanthemum exhibition, there is the Longting Grand Hall: standing on a 13-meter-high blue brick platform, requiring climbing 72 steps (symbolizing the number of earthly evil spirits). The center of the steps is inlaid with a stone carving of a dragon and cloud pattern. The hall is a Qing Dynasty-style double-eaved hip-roof building. Inside, there is a plaque inscribed with "Long Live the Emperor" from the Qing Dynasty, and a Song Dynasty wax museum (63 wax figures recreating historical scenes from the Northern Song Dynasty). The central axis layout, from south to north, consists of the Meridian Gate, the Jade Belt Bridge (a white marble bridge), the Imperial Gate, and the Main Hall, forming a solemn and dignified royal ceremonial axis. The scenic area contains the underground ruins of six dynasties' imperial palaces. Looking down from the Main Hall, east and west, two lakes face each other: East Lake (Panjia Lake): Its murky waters are associated with the treacherous minister Pan Mei; West Lake (Yangjia Lake): Its clear waters symbolize the loyal Yang family generals. Boat tours are now available (68 RMB/day, unlimited visits, night tours included). Opening hours: 08:00-22:00 (Daytime 08:00-16:00; Night tour 16:00-22:00). Like other scenic spots in Kaifeng, there are daily performances. Ticket price: 30 RMB. However, if you have ample time, it is recommended to purchase an annual pass/combination ticket, allowing multiple entries to several scenic areas based on your needs. Address: North end of Songdu Yujie Street, Longting District, Kaifeng City (Navigation: "No. 14 Longting North Road") Parking may be limited during peak season; multiple bus routes provide direct access. Best Season: October-November (Chrysanthemum Exhibition) or early spring (Plum Blossoms in full bloom); The main hall offers panoramic views of Pan and Yang Lakes, the reflection of the Jade Belt Bridge, and the "Songhu" stone inscription at the Stele Pavilion; The Chrysanthemum Exhibition and other events are linked: Longting - Tianbo Yang Mansion - Hanlin Stele Garden - Kaifeng City Wall Scenic Area. This is a continuous route from Longting to the city wall, avoiding backtracking. A combined ticket also includes the Iron Pagoda Park, about 2 kilometers away, accessible by bus or taxi. Longting is the main venue for the Chrysanthemum Exhibition, while these four are branch venues. Suggested Visit Time: A leisurely visit to all five scenic areas will take at least half a day. Longting and the Iron Pagoda are quite large. If you don't visit these, Wansui Mountain and Qingming Riverside Park also have Chrysanthemum Exhibition displays.

    My parents didn't want to go to Qingming Garden, so they visited all the other attractions in Kaifeng. It's very Kaifeng-style, the park is huge, and the main attraction is the pagoda. The environment is beautiful, and there are performances at each gate. You can even rent an electric scooter to navigate the area. There's water mist spraying everywhere—I don't know if it's to increase humidity or create a fairyland feel...

    Tianbo Yangfu is still worth a visit. You can enjoy the scenery of Bian River here. However, parking is not convenient during the National Day holiday due to the large number of people. The fee is also quite expensive (20 yuan per time).

    Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City is like a grand theater, with performances happening anytime, anywhere. You can stop and watch, and feel completely satisfied. Actually, the official performance schedule is available, but the shows are so frequent that it's impossible to catch them all in one day. Fortunately, the ticket is valid for three days, so you can spend as much time as you like. The scenery during the day and at night is also significantly different. The "Three Attacks on the Zhu Family Village" and "Iron Flower Show" require reservations, which are easily done via a mobile app. However, you need to arrive early, otherwise you'll have to wait for the next show. The chrysanthemum exhibition at Wansui Mountain in autumn is truly beautiful. Take a stroll through the park, eat, drink, play, and enjoy the sights—it's a really enjoyable experience.
