[Kaifeng: A City of Song Dynasty Charm and a Thousand-Year Dream]

🌉 Boating on the Yu River and the Rainbow Bridge Reflection
In the sounds of oars and the shadows of lanterns, encounter the real-life scroll of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival." Song Dynasty buildings line the banks, and thousands of lanterns light up the Bian River at night, as if Zhang Zeduan's Tokyo has been resurrected!

🏯 Dragon Pavilion Park: Imperial Majesty
Overlooking the Pan and Yang Lakes from the ruins of the Northern Song Dynasty Palace, the vermilion palace walls and golden glazed tiles shine in the sun. The "Nine Emperors Welcoming Guests" performance at 9:00 am every day takes you back to the prosperous atmosphere of all nations coming to pay tribute.

🛎️ Daxiangguo Temple: A Thousand Years of Brahma Sounds
The legendary place where Lu Zhishen uprooted the weeping willow! The octagonal glazed hall houses a Thousand-Hand Guanyin carved from an entire ginkgo tree. When the ginkgo trees fly in autumn, the ancient temple becomes a Zen-inspired film location.

🎭 Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden: All-Weather Travel
From the Bao Gong Welcoming Guests at 9:00 am to the real-life performance of "The Great Song Dynasty: A Dream of Tokyo" at night, 200+ NPCs interact at any time: watch the Wang Member recruit relatives, meet Yang Zhi escorting the birthday program, and experience Song Dynasty incense and pot throwing and other intangible cultural heritage projects!

🍜 Food Guide:
Taste soup dumplings and fried jelly at the Drum Tower Night Market, sample chrysanthemum tea at Qisheng Corner, and don't forget to bring the "Eight Views of Bianliang" cultural and creative ice cream to check in and take photos!

📅 Best season: September–November (The city is full of golden armor during the Chrysanthemum Culture Festival)
🚗 High-speed train directly to "Songcheng Road Station". It is recommended to ride shared electric bicycles to shuttle through the concentrated scenic spots!
