Where History Awakens in the Garden

Kaifeng’s Millennium City Park, also known as Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden, unfolds like a living scroll of the Northern Song dynasty. Stepping inside feels like walking into Zhang Zeduan’s masterpiece Along the River During the Qingming Festival: merchants and travelers bustle, carriages and boats weave through, and music lingers in the air, painting a scene of vibrant prosperity. Pavilions and towers reflect upon the tranquil waters, while ancient bridges whisper stories of a thousand years. More than a recreation of history, it is a celebration of culture, where the spirit of Kaifeng’s past breathes with new vitality.
