One Day in Kaifeng - Here's Your Guide!!

Just got back from Kaifeng, and here are the must-visit spots!

🔸Daliang Gate City Wall
Climb the 2,800-year-old city wall! Beneath your feet are layers of rammed earth from six dynasties. Look up to see the naked-eye 3D projection of "Dream of Daliang Gate" - you'll instinctively dodge when the arrow rain comes!

🔸Lord Bao Temple
Don't just focus on Lord Bao's statue! Here you'll find the famous Dragon, Tiger, and Dog execution tools often seen in TV dramas, and incredibly lifelike wax scenes of Lord Bao executing Chen Shimei. You can also see Lord Bao's handwriting and official hat.

🔸Millennium City Park
This huge park recreates scenes from "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" painted by Song Dynasty artist Zhang Zeduan. Watch live performers and many spectacular shows.
From throwing embroidered balls and cockfighting to walking on knife mountains... each performance is amazing.
Don't miss the large-scale horse battle show "Yue Fei Defeats Prince Liang" and the water battle "Defense of the Eastern Capital." Arrive 40 minutes early to get seats. The evening show "Song Dynasty: Dreams of the Eastern Capital" is absolutely stunning!

✅Millennium City Park is least crowded after 4:00pm. Consider wearing hanfu and arriving early!
✅Stay at a guesthouse near Daliang Gate - enjoy city wall views from your window, the night scene is so soothing
