[2024 Kaifeng Attraction] Travel Guide for Kaifeng Fu (Kaifeng Palace) (Updated Oct)

Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu Provincial hall. Kaifeng city, Henan province. This beautiful hall as a government house was established during Song dynasty flourishing time. The merchants born in Gansu, Shanxi and Shaanxi who had done trade in the prosperous city of Kaifeng has found it. They united their efforts to create a guild of three North West province union and to facilitate the business operations, if it says nowadays. The buildings are really beautiful and reflect that prosperous time and great success.

#lightthecity A little expensive （120 rmb per person）but you can easily spend the bulk of the day here to get your moneys worth. We were only going to stay a few hours but ended up staying the entire afternoon and into the night. The park itself is huge，and it reminds me of Disneyland with a Song Dynasty twist. There are no rollercoasters though！There are shows running every twenty minutes so make sure to plan out your visit. It is also very beautiful at night （there is a final big show at 8：15 pm by the lake so be sure not to miss it！）and there is a Foodie Town with lots of great things to eat！You can even ride camels or other animals as well！Would highly recommend this place if you want to learn more about the Song Dynasty！ #lightthecity

Kaifeng Prefecture

Kaifeng Prefecture was initially established in the first year of the Kaiping era of the Later Liang Dynasty (907 AD) and was the capital of the whole country during the Song Dynasty, also known as Tianfu South Street. Before their ascensions to the throne, Emperors Taizong, Zhenzong, and Qinzong of the Song Dynasty all governed this prefecture. A group of outstanding politicians, literary figures, thinkers, and military strategists, including Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Su Shi, Sima Guang, Su Song, Cai Xiang, and Zong Ze, served here one after another. They enforced the law with strictness, integrity, and impartiality, were unafraid of the powerful, and managed the capital effectively, promoting the moral integrity of 'public brightness, purity, caution, and diligence'. They created the distinctive culture of the Kaifeng Prefecture officialdom, characterized by 'uprightness and integrity, eliminating tyranny and bringing peace to the good', and left behind many popular stories and legends, making Kaifeng Prefecture famous throughout the world and forever recorded in history. Kaifeng Prefecture has experienced many years of vicissitudes, and the original buildings have all been destroyed. Recently, the Kaifeng Bao Gong Temple and Kaifeng Hongtai Real Estate Development Company have collaborated, inviting experts from various fields to design and restore it according to the Song Dynasty 'Construction Methods', using the Song Dynasty Kaifeng Prefecture Yamen as a prototype. With a total investment of over eighty million yuan, covering more than 60 acres, and a total construction area of over 14,000 square meters. It features more than fifty groups of beautiful and exquisite tourist landscapes, including the Prefecture Gate, the Ceremonial Gate, the Main Hall, the Council Hall, the Plum Blossom Hall, the Hidden Dragon Palace, the Mingli Court, the Tianqing Observatory, the Western Prison of the Prefecture, the Qingxin Tower, the Yingwu Tower, and the Fan Gong Pavilion. These form the officialdom exhibition area centered around the stone tablets and the main hall, the Bao Gong legend exhibition area centered around the Plum Blossom Hall, the prison exhibition area centered around the Western Prison of the Prefecture, and nine distinctive Song culture tourism areas including imperial examinations, religion, entertainment, and leisure. Coupled with exquisite Song culture performances and rich exhibitions, you can truly experience the noble sentiment of 'visiting Kaifeng Prefecture, appreciating the culture of the Great Song, paying homage to Bao Longtu, and understanding the righteousness of the world'.

"Kaifeng Mansion", located on the north shore of the East Lake of Bao Gong Lake in Kaifeng, covers more than 60 acres with a building area of 13,600 square meters.

Historical Fame - Kaifeng Prefecture

After breakfast at the hotel on the 26th (the hotel's breakfast is good), we went to visit Kaifeng Prefecture, which is located on the north bank of Bao Gong's East Lake in Kaifeng City, Henan Province. It was the administrative and judicial yamen of the officials in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and is known as the foremost prefecture in the world. The main reason is the reputation of Bao Longtu of Kaifeng Prefecture for supporting justice, expelling evil, being upright and unyielding, with a good name that has been passed down through the ages. The tune 'Bao Longtu meditates in Kaifeng Prefecture' is so moving that it stirs the soul and evokes much reflection and longing. The architectural structures within the Kaifeng Prefecture scenic area are reconstructed to replicate the Kaifeng Prefecture of the Song Dynasty. It is said that the current scale of Kaifeng Prefecture is much smaller than the original scale of the Song Dynasty. There are a series of folk cultural performances in the prefecture every day. The welcoming performance in front of the street gate of Kaifeng Prefecture at 9 am is a must-see, and if time permits, you can also watch more performance programs in Kaifeng Prefecture, which are worth appreciating.

Kaifeng One-Day Tour Guide - Average Cost 200 Yuan

This Kaifeng guide isn't too extensive, it's more about the experience! 🟠 Breakfast suggestions: Li Ji's Five-Spice Bean Curd: The most classic is the egg-stuffed fried dough stick, accompanied by either soybean or mung bean curd. The curd feels like starch with a bean flavor, and the fried dough sticks are highly recommended! Spicy Soup: I think Fang Zhongshan's is the best. You must soak the fried dough twist and pancake in the spicy soup, it's the soul! Beef, Mutton, Donkey Meat Soup: I think the taste is pretty much the same, sisters! 🔵 Kaifeng Mansion: The ticket🎫 is 59 yuan, but I don't recommend it, as there are serious signs of later construction. However, it might still be worth seeing the ancient architecture for some people from the south, and there are some performances inside! 💥 Lunch recommendations 🟡 Cui Ji's Old Northeastern Iron Pot Stew: Our lunch, highly recommended, the portions are particularly generous, we ordered a meal for two but it felt like it was for four! 🌟 Halal Zhao Ji's Fresh Mutton Soup with Four Delicacies: The four delicacies are mutton, meatballs, cucumber, and gluten, topped with fresh mutton soup. The taste is very Henan, I recommend everyone to try it! 🟡 Bookstore Street: It's actually an antique street, with all sorts of things for sale, and a few bookstores are quite commercialized, but there's a Lolita fashion store that Lolita fans might want to check out! At the end of Bookstore Street is the Drum Tower! 🟡 Drum Tower: As the name suggests, it's an ancient tower. I feel it's quite similar to Xi'an's Bell Tower, a landmark building. Around the Drum Tower are Henan's specialty snacks, and there's a night market in the evening! But I don't really recommend it, I prefer the Old He University night market! 🟡 Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden: The daytime ticket is 120, and the day + evening ticket is 290. The evening is better to visit, with some lantern festivals, and there are performances during the day, very martial arts-like, giving a feeling of being on a film set. The overall atmosphere is good, and without Wang Po's coal story, I think Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden is the calling card of Kaifeng, and friends from other provinces should definitely check it out! 🟡 Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City: For 80 yuan you can enter the park, Wang Po's coal story has already become famous worldwide, but please pay attention to ⚠️Wang Po's working hours! I think the inside is quite rich, with scheduled timeline performances, and there's a blacksmithing flower performance in the evening! But as it's close to Qingming, it might be very crowded! 🟡 Northwest Wetland Park: The park is inconspicuously located between Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden and Wansui Mountain, but the park's structure is also quite good, those who like tranquility can go for a walk! 🟡 Ghost Market: The Ghost Market is on Sunday morning at 5 am, although it's like an antique market! 🌟 Dinner recommendations: 🟡 Old He University Night Market: Let me start by saying that the snacks at Old He University are all pretty safe choices, and they're very affordable. Everyone can choose according to their own taste, here are a few recommendations (Ma's Baked Chicken Leg Pie, Xu Ji's Beef Shaobing, Yuan Ji's Red Bean Cake, Overseas Chinese Spring Roll, Little A Niu's Grilled Cold Noodles...) Many friends, Henan is heavy on the carbs!

Kaifeng | Two-day One-night Itinerary

Kaifeng | Two-day One-night Itinerary||Depart from Beijing on Friday night, arrive at Kaifeng Station around 8 am DAY One: Zhao's Four Stews - Kaifeng Mansion - Han Garden Stele Forest - Wang Mo Head - Great Song Martial Arts City - He University Night Market - Hotel First, take bus No. 3 from Kaifeng Station to Zhao's Four Stews. 🍲The best dish at Zhao's Four Stews is the meatballs, which are super delicious. Next are lamb, daylily, and gluten. There are various prices to choose from: 15, 20, 25, 30, the difference is the amount of meat. Kaifeng Mansion and Han Garden Stele Forest are not particularly different from other gardens, just have a quick look. Wang Mo Head's soy-braised fish is a must-order!!! If you don't, you'll regret it, it's super delicious, the rest doesn't matter, but you must try the soy-braised fish. 🏯Great Song Martial Arts City It's really too crowded at Wang Po's place, it is recommended to occupy a seat two or three hours in advance (the earlier, the better), and hope you can find your other half. The performances of 'Three Hits at Zhu's Village' and 'Iron Flower Fireworks' are a must-see at the fortress arena, the live performances are definitely worth the ticket price. Especially the Iron Flower Fireworks, no matter how many videos you watch, it's not as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes, it is suggested to enter the venue one hour in advance, the atmosphere on-site is unbeatable. He University Night Market has all kinds of snacks, but it's hard to queue up, it's crowded, and you might lose your spot just by queuing for one person DAY Two: Nanfeng Spicy Soup - Daxiangguo Temple - Iron Pagoda Park - Songyuan Soup Dumplings - Kaifeng City Wall - Kaifeng City Museum The spicy soup is delicious, the oil cake is good, the vegetarian dumplings are tasty, no pitfalls Daxiangguo Temple is very popular, and there are dharma assemblies recently, if you are a Buddhist, you might want to visit when in Kaifeng👀 There is a pagoda in Iron Pagoda Park covered with glazed tiles, it is named Iron Pagoda because its exterior color looks like rust, and it's very tall For Songyuan Soup Dumplings, if there are two people, it's recommended to order just one basket of dumplings and two dishes, the portion of the dishes is large, too many dumplings can be greasy, the corn soup is good, the other dishes are also okay, just make do Kaifeng City Wall is so-so, nothing exciting The museum's exhibition hall doesn't have anything particularly interesting to see, it's similar to other museums, no highlights, but it's still worth a visit ‼️Attention‼️The attractions and restaurants on the two-day itinerary are not far from each other, you can choose on your own, both taxis and shared bikes are available, personally, I highly recommend shared electric bikes, it's just one word: awesome!!! Watch out for people selling chrysanthemum tea and chrysanthemum pastries, to put it bluntly, it's targeted at tourists from other places, if you really want to buy, then I advise you to consider carefully

Kaifeng, Henan·Kaifeng Prefecture | Kaifeng has a Bao Qingtian

| Kaifeng has a Bao Qingtian. ❤Recommended reason: Kaifeng Prefecture is located on the north bank of Bao Gong Lake, it was the administrative and judicial yamen of the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty capital, where Bao Zheng once handled cases. Historical records show that there were 183 prefects in Kaifeng Prefecture during the Northern Song Dynasty, especially Bao Gong, who was famous at home and abroad for his seat in the southern yamen. The current Kaifeng Prefecture was later rebuilt, built according to the 'Architectural Method' of Li Jie of the Northern Song Dynasty, with a regular layout, solemn and elegant, tall ridges, and fine paintings, reflecting the architectural style of the Song Dynasty everywhere. 🌟Highlights: Every morning at 9 o'clock, in the solemn and solemn drum music, the warriors and yamen runners holding the road gongs, swinging the whips, and holding the banners lined up from Kaifeng Prefecture. Suddenly a woman Qin Xianglian with her young son called for injustice, accusing the current son-in-law Chen Shimei. Bao Daren was so powerful that all the tourists on the scene couldn't help but applaud and boil with blood. There are also wonderful performances of 'Bao Gong's Case', 'Catching the Groom in Front of the List', and 'Welcoming Guests in the Martial Arts Field' when visiting Kaifeng Prefecture. 📌Small Tips: 'Check-in Strategy' 1. Business hours: 07:00-19:00, the wonderful 'Opening Ceremony' will be staged at 9 o'clock in the morning. 2. Address: North Bank of Bao Gong Lake, Drum Tower District, Kaifeng City. 3. Tickets: 60 yuan for adults, 30 yuan for students. 🚉Travel Strategy: |Transportation| Mobile phone positioning in Kaifeng Kaifeng Prefecture is enough, it is 3 kilometers away from Kaifeng Station; after arriving in Kaifeng city, you can take buses No. 1, 5, 8, 17, 29, 31 to get there!!! |Surrounding Business Circle| This is in the inner city area of Kaifeng, the central area of Kaifeng city, not far from the core scenic spots such as Qingming Shanghe Garden Scenic Area, Tianbo Yangfu, Longting Park, Songdu Yujie, Drum Tower Night Market, etc.!!

Kaifeng Prefecture, a symbol of justice

Because I read 'The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants', Kaifeng Prefecture has been a place I admired since childhood, always wishing to make a pilgrimage there once in my lifetime. Finally, in my twilight years, I have fulfilled this wish. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng Prefecture was the foremost prefecture in the world, and the famous Bao Zheng, also known as 'Bao Qingtian', once served as the prefect of Kaifeng, making its name renowned both at home and abroad. The Kaifeng Prefecture of the Song Dynasty has long been destroyed by floods, and what we see now is a recently reconstructed artificial antique attraction. Although it is a reconstruction and imitation of the ancient style, visitors always harbor a sense of nostalgia. During this period, the red plum blossoms of Kaifeng Prefecture are in full bloom, adorning the antique-style buildings, enhancing the ancient charm when set against each other. Full ticket is 65 yuan, half ticket is 32 yuan.

The must-visit attractions in Henan Kaifeng Prefecture

Kaifeng Prefecture is one of the iconic attractions in Kaifeng, Henan. It was the government office of officials in the ancient Northern Song Dynasty and the place where Judge Bao held court. Located north of Bao Gong's East Lake in Kaifeng City, it is very close to the 'Bao Gong Temple', facing each other across the lake. The Kaifeng Prefecture scenic area is very large, with the overall architectural style of the Song Dynasty. Entering the main gate into the courtyard, you will see the 'Public Life Enlightenment' warning boulder, and then into the main hall, which is the core of the scenic area, the place where Northern Song officials and Judge Bao held court. The 'Dog Head Shears', 'Tiger Head Shears', and 'Dragon Head Shears' are lined up in a row, a unique scene of Kaifeng Prefecture. Inside, there is also a 'Plum Blossom Hall', where Judge Bao sat facing the south office, with plum blossoms planted in the courtyard and sculptures depicting Judge Bao hearing cases. Other attractions include the 'Hidden Dragon Palace', 'Heroic Tower', 'Prison', etc., where you can stroll around and learn about the culture and administration of the Northern Song period. The scenic area also has a food street to meet the needs of tourists, allowing you to enjoy the delicacies of Kaifeng without leaving the area.

Touring Kaifeng: Da Xiangguo Temple, Kaifeng Mansion, and Bao Gong Ancestral Temple

Da Xiangguo Temple 🪔Da Xiangguo Temple is one of the iconic buildings in Kaifeng. During the Song Dynasty, it was the largest temple in the capital and the center of Buddhist activities nationwide. In addition to the Bell and Drum Towers, the Hall of Heavenly Kings, and the Mahavira Hall, the most worthwhile sight is the octagonal glazed hall (also known as the Arhat Hall) and the statue of the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva within it, which is the treasure of Da Xiangguo Temple. Due to the sacredness of the Buddha statue, photography was not permitted, but both the materials and the craftsmanship are nothing short of miraculous. 🎫There is a joint ticket for Da Xiangguo Temple and Kaifeng Mansion available on Ctrip, but it's not much cheaper than buying them separately. Kaifeng Mansion From Da Xiangguo Temple to Kaifeng Mansion, you will pass Zhou Bridge and the Bian River ruins. If you have purchased a pass for ten scenic spots, you can take a detour to visit them. I have other articles that talk about this separately. ☀️Kaifeng has a 'Bao Qingtian', and Kaifeng Mansion was where Judge Bao worked. In fact, before becoming emperors, three of the Northern Song Dynasty emperors served here💼, and other notable figures such as Kou Zhun, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Su Shi, and Sima Guang also worked here, making it a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. 🗺️Our route started from the front (south) to the back (north), following the traditional central axis of the government office, then from the east side from back (north) to front (south) through the Imperial Examination Hall, Qingxin Tower, Qianlong Palace, and the garden, and then crossing to the west side from front (south) to back (north) through the prison, the six departments, the drill ground, and Tianqing Temple. The second phase is still under construction in the west. The whole scenic area is quite large. Additionally, it is written on the walls of the male death row in the prison that Yang Zhi, who killed Niu Er with a knife, was once imprisoned here. 🎫As mentioned above, there is a joint ticket available on Ctrip. Bao Gong Ancestral Temple Bao Gong Ancestral Temple is just across Bao Gong Lake from Kaifeng Mansion, but you have to walk around half the lake to get there. The ancestral temple is not very big, and if you're short on time, it's not a must-visit.💦To the east of Bao Gong Ancestral Temple is a well called Lianquan, which legend says quenches the thirst of the common people; it's sweet and fragrant for honest officials; but for corrupt officials, it causes a prickling in the throat and splitting headaches, and they must drink a bowl of dog urine to alleviate the pain.

Traveling to Pao Bunjin (Kaifeng)

🧧 Thai people who like Chinese movies would probably know Judge Bao of Kaifeng Court, and certainly, many would want to see the actual historical site. The Judge Bao Memorial is one such place that is worth visiting at least once. 🌟 If you want to delve deeply into history, the ticket area offers the option to walk with a guide who will narrate the history of each site. However, this time we chose to go without a guide because we stopped to take photos all along the way, as the views are very beautiful. 🌟 We visited during December, which was very cold, with snow as well. I would recommend that those planning to visit choose a time when it's not too cold, as there is a lot of walking to do. 🌟 Overall, I think Kaifeng is worth visiting at least once because it's beautiful and full of interesting stories. Plus, the place is easy to navigate, visually clean, and fun. 😚 🧡 You should go 🧡

Kaifeng Tourism | Bianjing

Drum Tower On the first night of arrival, I went to the Drum Tower first, where there is a night market at night, with a lot of people. The food is basically the same as the night markets everywhere, I am not particularly interested in it, so I didn't eat anything. The main reason to go to the Drum Tower is to take pictures of the ancient tower at night. The lights will be turned on at about 7:40 in the evening, which is particularly atmospheric! It's like a dream back to Bianjing! Other guides recommend taking photos on the sightseeing elevator next to KFC, I personally do not particularly recommend it, I feel that the position is a bit too biased, if you want to take pictures of people, you can go, if you just want to take pictures of the scenery, you can stand below. Other places to visit are the nearby bookstore street, where there are some Kaifeng snacks and cultural and creative shops. Kaifeng Mansion Speaking of Kaifeng, we have to mention Bao Gong Temple and Kaifeng Mansion. I went to both attractions, each has its own good, I can't say which one I recommend. Both attractions are heavily marked by later constructions. Bao Gong Temple focuses on Bao Gong himself, and the narration of Bao Gong's deeds is very detailed; Kaifeng Mansion is more about the history of Kaifeng Mansion, and Bao Gong is just a part of it. If you have time, you can go and see both. I am not particularly interested in history, but I was still shocked in Bao Gong Temple, and I couldn't help but look at the 'Bao's Family Instructions' for a long time, admiring Bao Gong's integrity and honesty. As for Kaifeng Mansion, it's really photogenic! It's been a long time since I've encountered a city tower and pagoda that I can climb up to, this is really good in Kaifeng, basically every city tower and pagoda I encountered can be climbed for a view. Daxiangguo Temple One of the most recommended attractions, a very beautiful and solemn national temple, most of the buildings in the temple are ancient buildings, it is said to be the mansion of 'Four Sons of the Warring States' Xinlingjun. Because I was worried about taking pictures and not being good, and clashing with other people who are devoutly worshipping Buddha, I didn't take many pictures inside. But the temple is really beautiful, if you observe carefully, you will find that there are details everywhere, even the pavilions in the temple are very particular. If you are not in a hurry, you can light a free incense stick for good luck. In addition, the cultural and creative work in the temple is also very good, I bought two canvas bags and small sachets, recommended! Tianbo Yang Mansion On the day before leaving, I had some time, so I went to Tianbo Yang Mansion for a tour. It turned out to be worth the ticket price. If you are interested in the Yang family generals, I highly recommend it, and for those like me who don't know much about the three generations of the Yang family generals, you can also take this opportunity to study seriously. Because it was once the Yang Mansion, there are fish ponds and gardens inside, it's nice to rest and cool off when you're tired, and you can also feed the fish. Tianbo Tower is also very spectacular, you can also climb the tower, and you can see some of the history of Kaifeng on the way up. 🏠 I recommend a hidden treasure guesthouse in Bianjing City, Ying Guesthouse is located in Huangsong Daguan Court on Jin'an Road, an old factory building, steel bars, red bricks, and logs, where Bianjing meets Northern Europe in the Northern Song Dynasty. Perhaps because Bianjing has witnessed too many historical changes, it has an extraordinary demeanor, and it can keep people without speaking or laughing. In Liang Jun's guesthouse, the elegant charm of the Northern Song Dynasty is reproduced, with guqin, flower arrangement, noodles, incense burning, and tea fighting. Every detail reflects the elegant charm of the Northern Song Dynasty, the room is full of texture with the simple and original wooden furniture, and the simple design that returns to the original. The rooftop garden in summer is a good place for taking pictures.

Henan Kaifeng Prefecture｜Once you step into the scroll, you dream back a thousand years in a day

Kaifeng Prefecture has always been praised and criticized, I personally think that if it exists, there must be a place worth admiring. Since you are in Kaifeng, you must go to Kaifeng Prefecture. Kaifeng Prefecture is located on the north bank of the East Lake of Bao Gong Lake. It is the administrative and judicial office of the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty. Bao Zheng once handled cases and worked here. Historical records show that there were 183 prefects in Kaifeng Prefecture during the Northern Song Dynasty, especially Bao Gong, who was famous at home and abroad for his seat in the southern government. The current Kaifeng Prefecture was rebuilt later, built according to Li Jie's 'Building Law' of the Northern Song Dynasty. The layout is regular, solemn and elegant, the tall roof ridge, the fine painting, everywhere reflects the architectural style of the Song Dynasty. 1⃣Qingxin Tower is the tallest tower in Kaifeng Prefecture, it is 32 meters high, the name comes from Bao Gong's motto poem 'Clear heart is the root of governance, the right way is the body's strategy'. In order to commemorate this upright and unflattering generation of clean officials, it was named 'Qingxin Tower'. Qingxin Tower has 4 floors. The first floor hall is currently the largest bronze statue of Bao Gong in China, with a solemn and solemn expression, which is awe-inspiring; The second floor introduces the names, hometowns and deeds of the former Kaifeng prefects in the form of hand scrolls; The third floor displays the scenes of major events held in Kaifeng Prefecture during the Northern Song Dynasty in a miniature landscape manner; The fourth floor has performances of Song Dynasty songs and dances, drum music performances, tea art displays, etc. 2⃣The West Prison of the Prefecture Is the criminal culture area of Kaifeng Prefecture, mainly including the prison god temple, the prison room, the male prison, the female prison, the male death prison and the female death prison. It is a place where suspects and witnesses are temporarily detained for immediate trial, similar to today's detention centers. 3⃣Sanqing Hall Is the main hall in the courtyard, and also the main building of Tianqing View. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Taoism regarded the original Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Dao De Tianzun as the three main gods. 4⃣Main Hall This is where the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture in the Northern Song Dynasty issued decrees, handled government affairs, and held major events in the government office, and publicly tried important cases. The hall has a solemn and solemn atmosphere, and in front of the hall are the well-known 'dragon head', 'tiger head', and 'dog head' three bronze guillotines, which are awe-inspiring. After climbing up to Qingxin Tower, the scenery is unbeatable. Right in front is the beautiful Bao Gong Lake, and the small garden scenery in the prefecture is also unobstructed. Opening hours: 7:30-19:00

Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan

When I think of the Taiwanese TV drama Justice Bao, it's really well made; I don't know if it has restored the true picture of the time. Three smashing knives, majestically displayed in the hall; The tour guide said that Bao Zheng was fair-skinned, 162 cm tall, and was the only official who opened the back door to allow the people to appeal in court. Officials of the third rank in all dynasties have left their names on the inscriptions of Kaifeng Prefecture; the ticket is tens of yuan, it's worth a visit.
