How about Kaifeng Qingming Shanghe Garden?

As one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization, Henan is not only a province with a large population, but also a province with a large culture and tourism. There are not only world-famous places of interest such as Shaolin Temple, Longmen Grottoes and Yin Ruins, but also natural landscapes such as Yuntai Mountain, Baiyun Mountain, Yaoshan Mountain, Laojun Mountain, Funiu Mountain and Chaya Mountain. But when it comes to representative theme parks, I believe many friends can only think of Qingming Shanghe Garden in Kaifeng. Because Qingming Shanghe Garden is not only the only theme park among eleven national AAAAA scenic spots in Henan, but also the only AAAAA scenic spot in Kaifeng, the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties and an excellent tourist city in China.

Riverside Garden on Qingming Festival is a large-scale historical and cultural park with Song Wenhua as its theme. It is based on the masterpiece The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival by Zhang Zeduan, a famous painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was built according to the ratio of1:1. It is the most famous scenic spot in Kaifeng, and it can also be said to be the landmark of Kaifeng tourism. No one who travels to Kaifeng can miss it.

It was raining in Mao Mao when we went, and we went into the garden. On the front, there is a standing sculpture, and Zhang Zeduan holds the scroll of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. On the screen behind us, a group of reliefs appeared, including horse riding, boating, sedan chair riding, driving cattle, working, dining and other life scenes in the Song Dynasty. Here, a beautiful commentator dressed in a Song costume greeted us and gave us a serious explanation.

The explanation of beauty begins with the enlarged stone carving "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival". She said: "Tomb-Sweeping Day is a festival, and the riverside scenery is a folk custom at that time, which means like going to the market. The picture vividly depicts the scene of the riverside scene in Qingming Festival, which can be roughly divided into three parts: the spring scene in the suburbs of Bianjing, the scene of Bianhe and the market in the city.

After talking about famous paintings, she led us into the picture scroll. First, she walked through a corridor full of chrysanthemums, and there were some stalls decorated with Song costumes on both sides. Suddenly, Yu Fan's eyes lit up. In the picture scroll, an identical stone arch bridge lies quietly on the clear waves, and a row of Song-style buildings are built on the water. Teahouses and restaurants are lined up, which makes people feel that they have crossed time tunnel and returned to the prosperous capital of the Northern Song Dynasty thousands of years ago.

Boarding Hongqiao, standing on a high place, overlooking the railing, the beautiful scenery in the Qingming Riverside Map slowly unfolds in front of you. We seem to have crossed the streets of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty, including restaurants, tea shops, pawn shops, foot shops, meat shops, temples, shuttlecocks, ring tables, and making Bian embroidery, official porcelain, woodblock New Year pictures, textiles and porcelain. Fighting cocks, wrapping puppets, kneading dough, telling fortune ostentatiously, begging in rags, carrying a sedan chair to greet the bride, driving a carriage to the river, pulling cattle and sheep carts to do business, all kinds of people, goulan tiles, colorful flags flying, cheering hooves, a very lively Kyoto style flowing in front of our eyes.

During the stroll, farm tools, waterwheels, mills, looms and other daily necessities in the Song Dynasty quietly tell the evolution of time; Archery, slingshot, archery, rope climbing, circle drilling, swinging, sliding slides and other ancient entertainment projects can be experienced here; There are also imperial examinations, postal services, Qianzudian, Mill, Water Car Garden, Siyanjing, Hongfu Temple, Yujing Garden, school yard, Shuangting Bridge, Juniper Square and other scenes that are impressive and create original song styles. Kaifeng people's excavation, inheritance and promotion of folk culture and folk art are vividly displayed here, which is awe-inspiring.

We stopped and walked, filming and listening, and the narrator interspersed with stories of the Northern Song Dynasty. With her footsteps, I saw pavilions and waterside pavilions in the garden, majestic and tall Fengyun Pavilion, carved beams and painted buildings, and resplendent Xuande and Xuanhe halls skillfully connected. The Imperial City walkway paved with bluestone slabs is smooth and bright, and the Tokyo Food Street gathers Bianjing-style snacks and delicacies. Sun Zhengyang, one of the 72 main shops in Song Dynasty, reappeared its original appearance. The arch into the Royal Garden stands on the boulevard, with pavilions. The Kowloon Bridge, shaped like a lying rainbow, straddles the Bianshui River, where the blue waves are rippling ... It is really step by step along the way. There are more than 400 houses with the size of imitation buildings in the Song Dynasty, and there are also folk entertainment facilities in the Song Dynasty, such as swings, boats, racecourses and cuju courts.

Along the way, the chrysanthemum group Jingxing cloth adorned it. In the meantime, the Dragon Pot Culture, Hua Meng in Tokyo, the Moon after the Gods, the Four Sheep, the Fulu Hulu and the Sailing Forward are dazzling and beautiful. Dozens of ships, big and small, are moored on the Bianhe River, with towering masts and Yun Fan hanging high, which shows the busy water transportation and superb shipbuilding technology in the Song Dynasty. Flags are flying everywhere on the docks and boathouses, and the breeze gently blows the willows, which is refreshing.

Walking in the Riverside Garden on the Qingming Festival is like wandering in a pictorial world, and suddenly there is a feeling of "stepping into the picture scroll and dreaming back to the Millennium". It's a pity that many performances were temporarily cancelled because of the weather, but what does it matter? It leaves some room for our own imagination and gives us a reason to do it again.

The gate of Riverside Garden on Qingming Festival, a red pavilion-like building, stands out from a distance.

This is the main venue of the International Chrysanthemum Festival. Chrysanthemum scenery is everywhere, and it is exquisite. This group of monkeys playing on the moon can be described as lifelike.

As soon as I entered the gate, the first thing I saw was the portrait of Zhang Zeduan, the painter of the Northern Song Dynasty and the author of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. There are colorful chrysanthemums in front. There is a group of reliefs on the screen wall behind him, including life scenes such as riding, boating, sedan chair, driving cattle, working and catering in Song Dynasty.

In front of the famous Hongqiao, there is a large chrysanthemum scene at the bridge head.

Out of the gate, on the edge of the Qingming Shanghe Garden is the Seven Sacred Corners, and across the street is the Hanyuan Garden. You can basically spend a day in this circle.
