Kaifeng City Hall Theme Park

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.
