[2025 Kaifeng Attraction] Travel Guide for Tieta Park (Updated May)

It turns out that the Kaifeng Tower is not made of iron! You must see it when you arrive in Kaifeng, because the Kaifeng Iron Tower has gone through vicissitudes of life and is like a thousand-year epic engraved on bricks and stones. Although it is called the "Iron Tower", it is actually made entirely of brown glazed bricks, which reflect an iron-colored glow under sunlight, hence the name. The Iron Tower was built in the first year of Huangyou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1049 AD). It has spanned nearly a thousand years and has experienced many earthquakes, floods and wars, but it has always stood firm. Today, the Eiffel Tower has been transformed into the Eiffel Tower Park. In the park, there are tall sycamore trees and blooming roses, and the Eiffel Tower stands tall and solemn among them. In the cultural hall under the tower, the past and present of the tower are displayed: 🌟Highlights: The tower is octagonal and has 13 floors, reaching a height of 55.88 meters. The glazed bricks are decorated with exquisite patterns such as flying apsaras, unicorns, bodhisattvas, and musicians. Each piece embodies the exquisite skills of ancient craftsmen. [○] Thousands of years ago, it witnessed the prosperity of the city of Bianliang. During the Jin and Yuan dynasties, it stood firm amidst the turmoil of dynasty change. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Yellow River floods approached several times, but it still stood tall against natural disasters. In the smoke of modern artillery fire, most of the surrounding buildings have become ruins, but it is the only one that has been preserved with bullet holes all over its body, telling the story of history. In 1958, professionals repaired it, giving the ancient tower a new lease of life while retaining the unique charm bestowed by time. Nowadays, there are fixed performances and markets in the park for tourists to watch and relax.

During the Qingming holiday, why not step into the world of the famous painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by the Song Dynasty court painter Zhang Zeduan? The Millennium City Park in Kaifeng, Henan Province, is a high-fidelity recreation of this masterpiece. Those who have seen the TV series "The Qingming Scroll Code" know how significant Kaifeng was during the peak of the Song Dynasty. Of course, there are many fun places in Kaifeng. Here is a tested 2-day and 1-night travel guide for everyone! 📍Recommended route: Day 1: Kaifeng Government Office, Baogong Temple, Millennium City Park Day 2: Kaifeng City Wall, Kaifeng Iron Tower 🔥🔥Kaifeng Government Office: It is recommended to come in the morning. When the scenic area opens, there will be a classic performance of "Zha Mei An" by Bao Zheng. Here, I also fulfilled my wish to take a photo with the Kaifeng Government Office Inscription Stele, which is engraved with the names of the successive Kaifeng magistrates. The name "Bao Zheng" has been touched so much that it is almost invisible 😂 🔥🔥Baogong Temple: This is the place to learn more about Bao Zheng "Justice Bao", my fellow villager from Anhui. There is an introduction to Bao Zheng's life, which can be used as a supplement to visiting the Kaifeng Government Office. 🔥🔥Millennium City Park: It is strongly recommended to enter the park in the afternoon and then play together in the evening. In the afternoon, it is recommended to watch the large-scale horse battle "Yue Fei Spear Picking Xiao Liang Wang", as well as small performances such as cockfighting and fire-breathing. Be sure to travel back to the Northern Song Dynasty in the evening, and there will be a molten iron fireworks show on the river. Of course, you must watch the live performance of "Da Song · Tokyo Menghua" before leaving, which recreates the prosperity and decline of Tokyo Bianliang during the Song Dynasty. 🔥🔥Kaifeng City Wall: The scenic area is not big. The city wall is mainly to learn about the ancient horse road. There is a short film to watch. The ancient horse road of the city wall has a total of five layers, which confirms the pattern of Kaifeng city stacking on top of each other. 🔥🔥Kaifeng Iron Tower: The Iron Tower is not actually made of iron, but of glazed bricks, which present the color of iron. It is very exquisite and difficult to see elsewhere. The Iron Tower Park is quite large, and there are some interactive activities similar to script killings that you can participate in. 🍚I stayed in Kaifeng for two days, and I personally think Kaifeng can be regarded as a low-key gourmet city. Steamed buns and mashed taro are both specialties. It is worth investing in KFC. It is recommended to have snacks at the morning or night market.

🎇 As soon as you enter the park, the towering iron tower stands like a superhero, standing there steadily and majestically! 👣 Stroll along the path, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, mottled, making you feel like you are walking on the Avenue of Stars. 🌸 The flowers in the park are blooming brilliantly, red like fire, pink like clouds, as if competing for beauty. 💖 A breeze blows, and the bells of the iron tower make a crisp sound, as if telling us ancient stories. In Iron Tower Park, time seems to slow down, allowing people to enjoy the tranquility and beauty.

Kaifeng is the second stop in Henan. I came here fifteen years ago. Apart from the Kaifeng beach soup dumplings, I don’t have a deep impression of anything else. I stayed in Kaifeng for two days this time. Kaifeng's attractions are basically near the ancient city area, making it convenient to visit. On the first day, we first went to Kaifeng Prefecture, then to Daxiangguo Temple, Bao Gong Temple, Tianbo Yang Mansion, and arrived at Qingming Shanghe Park around 4:30 pm and left when the lights were turned on at night. A day in the life of a special forces soldier. The next day, we went to the Iron Tower Park to see the world's first tower, and then to the City of Overlapping Cities Museum, but it was not completed yet, so the last stop was the Kaifeng Museum. Kaifeng also has attractions such as Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City, Fan Tower, and Zhuxian Town, one of the four ancient towns in the surrounding area, but we did not go there because our next stop was Zhengzhou. Kaifeng is the ancient capital of Six Dynasties. Although it has many scenic spots, there are not many real historical sites. Except for the Iron Tower and Fan Tower, they were all built later. Because Kaifeng is an ancient capital with cities on top of each other, there were six cities underground in Kaifeng, which was once submerged by the flooding of the Yellow River. [!] Of course, the silt of the Yellow River can flood the city, but it cannot flood the glorious history of Kaifeng!

Everyone must visit the Qingming Riverside Park in Kaifeng, Henan. It is simply the real-life version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Walking in the park is like walking into an ancient painting. There are quaint scenes everywhere, allowing you to truly feel the weight of history. If you like history and culture, then come here, it's definitely worth it! Don't miss this great opportunity to "travel back a thousand years ago"

When it comes to iron towers, many people may think of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. As a symbol of France, the Eiffel Tower is not only the most famous landmark in Paris, but also one of the most recognizable buildings in the world. However, in our country, there are actually numerous scattered and distributed iron towers of all sizes, full of a sense of historical vicissitudes and time. However, these towers are less popular and well-known than the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Therefore, not many tourists know about these towers in the country. Among them, there is a thousand-year-old iron tower hidden in Henan. After 15 floods and Japanese bombardment, the tower still stands! Curious friends may ask, where is this thousand-year-old iron tower in Henan? What unknown secrets are there? With these questions and curiosity, let’s talk about the Kaibao Temple Pagoda today. The Kaibao Temple Pagoda is hidden in the Kaifeng Iron Pagoda Park. Its specific location is No. 210 Beimen Street, Shunhe Hui District, Kaifeng City, Henan Province. Kaibao Temple Pagoda was built in the first year of Huangyou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1049), and has a history of nearly a thousand years. It was one of the first batch of national key cultural relics announced by China in 1961 and is known as the "No. 1 Tower in the World". The tower is 55.88 meters high and has 13 floors and an octagonal shape. Therefore, this place is Kaibao Temple, also known as "Kaibao Temple Pagoda".

The body of the pagoda is entirely built with brown glazed bricks, and the brick surfaces feature a variety of patterns, including Buddha statues, flying deities, qilin, dragon tamers, musicians, flowers, and more than fifty other types. These patterns are not only aesthetically pleasing but also carry profound meanings, reflecting the wisdom and artistic talents of ancient people.

Kaifeng Iron Pagoda was built in 1049 AD, and since the site was once the Kaibao Temple, it is also known as the "Kaibao Temple Pagoda". It is also called the "Iron Pagoda" because it is covered with brown glazed bricks that resemble iron, a name that has been used by the people since the Yuan Dynasty. It has long been reputed as the "Number One Tower in the World". The Iron Pagoda is an equilateral octagon, with thirteen levels and a height of 55.88 meters. The base of each side is 4.16 meters wide, gradually decreasing with each ascending level. The body of the pagoda is covered with patterned bricks, featuring over fifty different designs including flying apsaras, qilins, bodhisattvas, musicians, lions, etc. The base and the octagonal pool have been buried underground due to the flooding of the Yellow River. In June 1938, the invading Japanese army launched a fierce artillery attack targeting the Iron Pagoda. The pagoda was hit by seventy to eighty shells, with the north side of the pagoda heavily damaged. The eighth and ninth levels had their outer walls pierced, leaving two 2-meter-wide deep holes that still bear traces today.

Kaifeng, although it is the ancient capital of eight dynasties, has been flooded by the Yellow River several times, and now there are only three real ancient objects on the ground: Fan (po with the second tone) Tower. Fan Tower was built during the Northern Song Dynasty. The biggest highlight is that more than 7,000 Buddha bricks are inlaid inside and outside the tower body, one brick for one Buddha. Unlike the Iron Pagoda mentioned below, Fan Tower was not built by the government; these Buddha bricks were donated by the people at that time. The original Fan Tower had nine levels, but two were destroyed by lightning during the Yuan Dynasty, and four more were demolished during the early Ming Dynasty in the 'scrape away the royal qi' incident, leaving only three levels. A six-level small pagoda was added on top of the three-level platform in the early Qing Dynasty.

The patterns of apsaras, lions, dragons, and pagoda-guarding beasts on the glazed bricks are clearly visible. The Iron Pagoda does have an underground palace! Yanqing Temple. Yanqing Temple was built during the Yuan Dynasty to commemorate the founder of the Quanzhen School, Wang Chongyang, who preached and died here. The biggest highlight is that the Jade Emperor Pavilion inside the temple was buried more than 3 meters underground (because Kaifeng city was flooded by the Yellow River several times), and after the founding of the People's Republic, it was lifted out of the ground. There is an introduction to the lifting process in the underground palace. A few suggestions: 🅿️ Fan Tower has a small parking lot with about 20 parking spaces. Don't drive to the Iron Pagoda on holidays, as it is close to Wansui Mountain and the Old River Big Night Market, and sometimes entry is restricted🚫. It is also recommended to ride a shared electric bike to Yanqing Temple (actually, we walked there ) 🔥 These three places are not very crowded, the Iron Pagoda has a relatively larger flow of people, but Fan Tower and Yanqing Temple are almost empty, allowing you to enjoy the tranquility. 🎫 For tickets, Fan Tower and Yanqing Temple are included in the Song Dynasty Imperial City pass, while the Iron Pagoda is free.

There is a gate of Henan University, which should be the north gate, facing the Iron Tower. 4. Many Kaifeng friends say that the Iron Tower can be climbed. Maybe I went early that day and didn't let me climb. However, walking around the tower, the wind blowing the bronze bell is very comfortable. 😘😘😘😘 The Kaifeng travel guide is about to reach its climax.

Despite the changes of dynasties and the baptism of war, the Iron Tower still stands firm. In the evening, looking at the Iron Tower, the afterglow of the setting sun, the reflection of the tower in the lake, the atmosphere is full. In the park, there are also Taihu stones from the Song Dynasty, as well as the works of horticultural masters at the Chrysanthemum Festival. The Iron Tower Park is really a surprising existence.

"Qingtian one column has a low cloud, and the dark work is the same as the sun and the moon. In the middle of the night, the fire dragon turns over the axis of the earth, and the eight squares of stars follow the ladder. The light shakes along the bead, and the shadow falls on the water rhinoceros. Turning the stylus to the empty question." The "Iron Tower Burning Lamp" created by the Yuan Dynasty poet Feng Yuzhen is a good description of the thousand-year-old tower "Iron Tower" in Kaifeng. The profound cultural heritage of Kaifeng, as well as the deep cultural tower, contains a history of incomprehensible and inexhaustible. I want to know that in ancient times, the wooden tower was why the tower was an iron tower, but it was learned that the tower was not iron, but the glazed brick was built. I want to see the grand scene of the "Iron Tower Burning Lamp", but I found that the tower's light and shadow show is wonderful. Tower, if you don't come here, you can't know that it has endless charm. Millennium ancient tower, iron can not move. The tower was built in the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty Huangyou (ie 1049 AD) and has a history of nearly a thousand years. Located in the northeast of the Tower Park, the Tower is an important cultural relic and the main attraction. In 1961, among the first batch of nationally-protected cultural relics announced by China, there was an iron tower, which was known as the first tower in the world.

The Kaifeng Tower Kai Pagoda was originally a wooden tower, but it was destroyed after being destroyed 55 years later. At that time, Song Renzong learned that he rebuilt the Kaibao Temple Tower and changed it from Fushengyuan to the Temple above. In order to prevent fire, it has also been changed from the former wood-wood structure to the brick and glass structure, which is the tower we have seen today. But why does the Kaibao Temple tower look the same as the tower? In fact, the pagodas in the early years were actually very colorful, extremely beautiful, but because of the millennium, the once beautiful has long been wiped out, the rest is this iron-shaped glass tower, the locals will be directly over time. Iron Tower, the tower has suffered more than 40 earthquakes, more than 10 hail, more than 20 wind disasters, 6 rivers, and more than 10 rains. In the meantime, there have been numerous repairs and repairs. In a sense, It also bears the name of its "iron tower" and stands still. The construction of the tower was actually built to store the Buddha relics. The Buddha relics and the underground palace are underground. Kaifeng people believe that the Buddha relics are still in the tower of the tower and have not been stolen. However, in order to protect the tower, it has not yet started construction.

Time flies, too much of the glory of history has disappeared in the long river of history. Later generations can only rely on the description of poems in the annals to imagine the magnificent beauty of the year, which can remain intact and remain the largest. Fortunately, this is also the reason why I went to Kaifeng several times, but every time I have to go to the Kaifeng Tower, the millennium time, such as the white gap, in the iron tower, just a short moment, but for me, it is the ancients The true testimony of great wisdom carries the long journey of Kaifeng, the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties.

In 1049, during the reign of Emperor Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was also the most prosperous period in the Northern Song Dynasty. This year, in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng had a seemingly insignificant but far-reaching impact on later generations, that is, Song Renzong ordered the reconstruction of the Kaibao Temple Tower. Kaibao Temple is a royal temple in the Northern Song Dynasty. There is a wooden tower in the temple, which is dedicated to the Buddha relic of Ashoka. Unexpectedly, the wooden tower was only destroyed for 55 years and was burnt down by lightning. In order to prevent fire, the material of the tower was changed to iron-brown glazed tiles. The tower was built on the Yishan Mountain, with a lotus base under the tower. The Yellow River has been flooded many times since the millennium, and Kaifeng City has been submerged again and again. Together with Yishan and the lotus base, it has been buried underground. Today, only the tower body on the ground can be seen. Because the tower is iron brown, since the Yuan Dynasty, the tower has been called the "iron tower." The glory of Kaifeng City during the Northern Song Dynasty, slowly disappeared with the glory of time, only this tower, silently watching the city's millennium changes. The current tower is the symbol of Kaifeng in the ancient city. It is 55.88 meters high and has 13 floors. It has been subjected to dozens of earthquakes, the flooding of the Yellow River, the hail disaster and the artillery bombing of the Japanese invaders. It is still called the first tower in the world. Kaibao Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty, once owned 24 Buddhist temples, facing south. The current tower park is much smaller. After passing through the temple, it is the tower.

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the capital city of Kaifeng has been circulated, from the royal family to the civilians, all immersed in the gorgeous lights. According to the "Tokyo Dreams Record" records: Tokyo, Lin'an on the Lantern Festival, lasting five nights, forty miles of lighting. The grand occasion of the lights at the time was evident. The Kaiyuan Lantern Festival in Kaifeng now lasts longer than the Northern Song Dynasty. From January 20th to February 20th, you can enjoy this magnificent scenery. The Lantern Festival is mainly concentrated in Longting Park, Tie Tower Park, Da Song Yu River, Kaifeng City Wall Park and Tianbo Yangfu. The tower built in the Northern Song Dynasty is the symbol of Kaifeng City. It is also one of the few places that have survived for thousands of years. At night, the tower performs a light show to tell the story of the past and present of the tower. Historically, there are countless poems depicting the Kaiyuan Shangyuan Lantern Festival. "Dongfeng night puts thousands of trees. It blows down and stars like rain." In the literary works, the above yuan lanterns will also serve as the background of the times. For example, in the "Water Margin", Li Wei is in Tokyo. To say that the lanterns are the most concentrated, the most beautiful, but also the Longting Park, Longting has a special significance for Kaifeng. This is the seat of the royal palace in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was the most brilliant in Kaifeng in history. It was the center of the country at that time. Longting's overall quaint and majestic palace style is best matched with the lanterns, and the people in the night are woven.
