The Divine City of Kaifeng: A Glorious Song of the Ages

In the heart of the Central Plains lies a city that uses the Yellow River as ink and the passage of time as a brush to write an endless legend. This city is Kaifeng. Stepping into Kaifeng is like stepping into a whirlpool of time, instantly pulling you back to the dreamlike prosperity of the Song Dynasty. On Longting, the glazed tiles shine brightly in the sunlight, as if you can see Zhao Kuangyin pointing to the mountains and rivers with great ambition. The two lakes of Pan and Yang have gentle waters, as if telling the ancient stories of loyalty, treachery, good, and evil. Strolling through the Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden, the Rainbow Bridge spans the river, and the banks of the Bian River are lined with shops and bustling with people. People in ancient costumes shuttle back and forth, making you wonder what day it is. The air is filled with the sweet aroma of roasted chestnuts, the savory scent of soup dumplings, and the rich fragrance of chrysanthemum wine. Every breath is filled with the lively atmosphere of the Song Dynasty. Kaifeng is a favorite of history and a treasure trove of culture. The exquisite Bian embroidery, with its threads weaving in and out, depicts the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty. The spectacular Yu opera performances, with their singing, reciting, acting, and fighting, portray the joys and sorrows of human life. This city carries the weight of a thousand years of history, yet it is full of vitality. With an open attitude, it welcomes visitors from all over the world and continues to write its own glorious chapter.
