Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu Provincial hall. Kaifeng city, Henan province. This beautiful hall as a government house was established during Song dynasty flourishing time.

#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

During the Qingming holiday, why not step into the world of the famous painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by the Song Dynasty court painter Zhang Zeduan? The Millennium City Park in Kaifeng, Henan Province, is a high-fidelity recreation of this masterpiece. Those who have seen the TV series "The Qingming Scroll Code" know how significant Kaifeng was during the peak of the Song Dynasty. Of course, there are many fun places in Kaifeng. Here is a tested 2-day and 1-night travel guide for everyone! 📍Recommended route: Day 1: Kaifeng Government Office, Baogong Temple, Millennium City Park Day 2: Kaifeng City Wall, Kaifeng Iron Tower 🔥🔥Kaifeng Government Office: It is recommended to come in the morning. When the scenic area opens, there will be a classic performance of "Zha Mei An" by Bao Zheng. Here, I also fulfilled my wish to take a photo with the Kaifeng Government Office Inscription Stele, which is engraved with the names of the successive Kaifeng magistrates. The name "Bao Zheng" has been touched so much that it is almost invisible 😂 🔥🔥Baogong Temple: This is the place to learn more about Bao Zheng "Justice Bao", my fellow villager from Anhui. There is an introduction to Bao Zheng's life, which can be used as a supplement to visiting the Kaifeng Government Office. 🔥🔥Millennium City Park: It is strongly recommended to enter the park in the afternoon and then play together in the evening. In the afternoon, it is recommended to watch the large-scale horse battle "Yue Fei Spear Picking Xiao Liang Wang", as well as small performances such as cockfighting and fire-breathing. Be sure to travel back to the Northern Song Dynasty in the evening, and there will be a molten iron fireworks show on the river. Of course, you must watch the live performance of "Da Song · Tokyo Menghua" before leaving, which recreates the prosperity and decline of Tokyo Bianliang during the Song Dynasty. 🔥🔥Kaifeng City Wall: The scenic area is not big. The city wall is mainly to learn about the ancient horse road. There is a short film to watch. The ancient horse road of the city wall has a total of five layers, which confirms the pattern of Kaifeng city stacking on top of each other. 🔥🔥Kaifeng Iron Tower: The Iron Tower is not actually made of iron, but of glazed bricks, which present the color of iron. It is very exquisite and difficult to see elsewhere. The Iron Tower Park is quite large, and there are some interactive activities similar to script killings that you can participate in. 🍚I stayed in Kaifeng for two days, and I personally think Kaifeng can be regarded as a low-key gourmet city. Steamed buns and mashed taro are both specialties. It is worth investing in KFC. It is recommended to have snacks at the morning or night market.
