Pubtime:2025-11-21












The four days and three nights in Kaifeng were a grand feast of Song Dynasty charm that spanned a thousand years. During the day, the red walls and yellow tiles of Longting tell the old dreams of the imperial city. The boating on the Bian River and the fragrant Hongqiao Bridge in Qingming Shanghe Garden seem to reproduce the prosperity of the "Qingming Shanghe Tu" before one's eyes. In the ancient and charming streets and alleys, the fresh and fragrant soup dumplings, the flavorful stir-fried cold noodles, and the sweet and refreshing almond tea, from the morning market to the night market, will keep you happy with your carbohydrates all the way. As night falls, the banks of the Imperial River are ablaze with lights, and the Drum Tower Night Market is bustling with people. The brilliant lights outline the contors of pavilions and terraces. Folk performances are also staged one after another in the ancient street, allowing you to immerse yourself in the hustle and bustle and poetry of the ancient capital of seven dynasties in the dazzling lights. Every step is a gentle collision of history and modernity, and every glance is a precious Song Dynasty painting worth treasuring.
