Shuipo Liangshan Scenic Area is located in Liangshan County. This is the birthplace of the stories in "Water Margin," where the layout of Liangshan's stronghold and architectural scenes have been recreated according to the descriptions in the novel. Here, you can enjoy ancient costume performances such as "Majestic Gongs and Drums" and "Heroes Welcoming Guests," listen to traditional Shandong Kuaishu and Lianhualuo, and watch exciting performances like Liangshan martial arts and folk customs such as cockfighting and sheep fighting, experiencing the rich culture of "Water Margin." The Water Margin-themed performances are a major highlight of Shuipo Liangshan Scenic Area, where you can watch various scenes related to the classic novel "Water Margin," such as "Yang Zhi Selling His Sword," "Yan Qing's Martial Arts Challenge," and "The Real and Fake Li Kui." You'll be amazed by the ancient-costumed "heroes" showcasing their impressive martial arts skills – it's truly spectacular. Additionally, you can enjoy wonderful folk art performances like Shandong clapper ballads, qinshu storytelling, and lotus chant. All these performances are included in your admission ticket and have fixed performance times and locations. We recommend arriving early in the morning, as the attraction's broadcast announcements will help you plan your visit to catch these shows. Shuipo Liangshan Scenic Area centers around Liangshan Mountain, featuring numerous structures built along the mountainside including the stronghold gate, Left Army Camp, Right Army Camp, Command Platform, and Loyalty Hall, recreating the majestic appearance of the Liangshan stronghold. With an elevation of 197.9m, the mountain isn't particularly high but has steep climbing paths. Hiking up allows visitors to experience the strategic terrain described as "one warrior guarding the pass can stop ten thousand troops." The attraction also offers horseback riding tours up Liangshan, where visitors can follow the ancient horse trail directly to the Loyalty Hall at the summit. Within the attraction stands the ancient Lotus Terrace Temple, founded by a Tang Dynasty monk. Built against the mountain, its halls are arranged in picturesque disorder. The temple houses a statue of Sakyamuni carved from a natural boulder. During Buddhist festivals each year, numerous devotees come to pray, making it a highly active site of worship.Liangshan · 1.7 km from downtown

Millennium City Park

4.6/5

Millennium City Park is located by the Longting Lake in Kaifeng, a large-scale historical and cultural theme park that faithfully recreates the Northern Song Dynasty's capital based on the famous painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by artist Zhang Zeduan, following the original layout at a 1:1 scale. The park is divided into two sections by the Shuangting Bridge: the southern area recreates the bustling urban life of Bianjing, with taverns, teahouses, pawnshops, and artisan workshops lining the streets, where peddlers with shoulder poles and shouting shop assistants move about; while the northern area features imperial gardens, with lakeside halls and quadrangular courtyards standing by the water. Staff and vendors throughout the park wear Song-style attire, accompanied by ancient music and the rhythmic sounds of bells and drums, creating the illusion of "stepping into a painting and traveling back a thousand years in a single day." The architecture here offers visually striking highlights: the Rainbow Bridge spanning the Bian River replicates the famous bridge from ancient paintings, arching like a rainbow—watching grain barges pass beneath recreates the painting's ambiance. Fuyun Pavilion towers above all other structures with its crimson facade and golden-roofed eaves, offering panoramic garden views. The reconstructed Shangshan Gate mirrors Kaifeng's Northern Song dynasty city gates, standing majestic with resplendent paintings as the garden's most imposing structure. Waterside pavilions like Shuixin Xie, Double Pavilion Bridge, and Nine Dragons Bridge dot the emerald waters in picturesque harmony. The daytime highlight is the scattered live performances throughout the park: "Judge Bao inspecting the Bian River grain transport" unfolds on the water by Rainbow Bridge, "Squire Wang's daughter seeking a husband" brings the embroidered ball tossing matchmaking to the streets, and "Yue Fei unhorsing Prince Xiao Liang" stirs up dust with galloping hooves in the drill ground. Folk performances like cockfighting, stilt walking, cuju (ancient football), and pan drumming are interspersed throughout. Families with children can visit Fun Garden and Great Song Games to try archery, dart throwing, rope climbing, and hoop diving—experiencing every Song dynasty game from a thousand years ago—or dress in period costumes at Square Courtyard to take mock imperial exams. Street-side workshops showcase folk crafts like Bian embroidery, Zhuxian Town woodblock prints, official kiln porcelain, and dough figurines, where visitors can watch artisans at work. The park takes on a different face after nightfall: red lanterns light up one after another, and the streets are ablaze with lights, making it seem like a completely different place from daytime. The large-scale water show "Northern Song Dynasty: Splendid Dreams of Dongjing" is performed on Jinglong Lake. The entire show is connected by eight classic Song Dynasty poems and a scroll of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," transporting the audience back to Dongjing of the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. The performance lasts approx. 70 minutes, and many travelers specifically reserve their itinerary for the evening to wait for this show. After the performance, you might as well climb the Shangshan Gate tower to overlook the park scenery and the night view of Kaifeng under the lights. Dining in the park is also convenient: the snack street and night market around the Dongjing food area gather Kaifeng snacks like soup dumplings and mutton pancake, perfect for eating while strolling; for a proper sit-down meal, head to Sunyang Restaurant, a recreation of the "main shop" depicted in paintings, and try traditional Henan dishes such as soup dumplings and carp with noodles.China · Kaifeng

Within the attraction, there are quaint and charming Song Dynasty garden streets and alleys, year-round exciting wuxia and period costume performances, as well as a wealth of entertainment facilities, making it a great place for relaxation and entertainment in Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, and surrounding areas. When visiting Wansuishan Martial Arts City, the first thing you will notice is the beautiful scenery of the attraction. Wansuishan Martial Arts City as a whole creates an atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, among which many views are very eye-catching, such as Wansui Temple, which recreates the splendor of a thousand-year-old ancient temple from the Song Dynasty, the Dragon Altar, which embodies the spirit of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, the relatively well-preserved ancient city wall of Kaifeng in China, and the "Nine Dragons Waterfall," one of the large man-made stream and waterfall groups in China. What is rare is that the attraction also has a very large area of forest and green space, with a quiet environment, and flowers bloom in season, making it very suitable for photography. Afterward, visitors will notice the unique wuxia features within the attraction. Year-round, multiple wuxia-themed performances are staged here, with several themed shows such as "Cross Slope," "Wu Song Drunkenly Beats Jiang the Gatekeeper," and "Wild Boar Forest" being quite spectacular—definitely not to be missed when visiting. Interactive performances like the "Wuxia Film and Television Experience Hall," "Martial Arts Champion," and "Li Kui Judges a Case" also allow visitors to participate in wuxia stories, offering plenty of fun. In the architectural design of the attraction, there are also many wuxia elements: the Wuxia Road built with large-scale weapons such as the "Heaven-Reliant Sword" and "Overlord Blade," the "Gallant Heroes Portrait" at the Great Song Martial Arts Hall, the "Sword Altar" at Cross Slope, Juxian Manor, and the Martial Arts Arena—all are uniquely distinctive. Additionally, every year during the Spring Festival periodWansuishanLarge-scale temple fairs are held, featuring grand performances, a rich variety of specialty snacks, a dazzling array of handicrafts, and highly distinctive entertainment activities, creating a lively atmosphere. It has now become one of the most popular temple fairs in the Central Plains region.China · Kaifeng

Song Du Huangcheng Cultural Tourism Resort is located in the northern part of the old city of Kaifeng, precisely on the site of the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty's Dongjing city. The millennium-old central axis of Kaifeng runs through this area, making it the core zone of the royal culture of the Song Dynasty. Here, you can find the Song-style imperial architecture of the Longting attraction, the tales of the Yang Family Generals at Tianbo Yang's residence, and the calligraphic steles of Han Yuan Stele Forest. The Shuanglong Lane historical and cultural block, 960 Cultural and Creative Park, and Qisheng Corner have transformed old streets and courtyards into Song-style blocks perfect for leisurely exploration. The resort also connects a series of Song culture attractions: Wansui Mountain Great Song Martial Arts City stages year-round martial arts live shows and intangible cultural heritage iron fireworks, while historic sites like the Iron Pagoda, Kaifeng city wall, Zhouqiao and Bian River ruins, Shanshangan Guild Hall, Yanqing Taoist Temple, and Fan Pagoda are scattered across the old city, along with niche spots like the underground wartime grain storage. These places are hard to cover in one day, so we recommend focusing on two or three key sites. After dark, a different experience awaits as the attractions light up in unison. Boarding a painted pleasure boat on the Great Song Imperial River to watch the illuminated pavilions and towers sway with the rippling water is a popular nightlife option here.China · Kaifeng

Baotu Spring is located in the bustling downtown area of Jinan, with Thousand Buddha Mountain to the south, Daming Lake attraction to the north, and Quancheng Square to the east. It is a distinctive garden themed around springs, renowned as "the finest spring under heaven" and ranked first among Jinan's "72 famous springs," with a history spanning over 2,000 years. It has also appeared in literary works many times, most notably in Lao She's essay "Baotu Spring." Visitors come here to witness the magnificent sight of the three springs erupting. The main spring is the centerpiece of the park. The spring water splits into three streams, clear and crisp, gushing day and night, and reaching several feet high when the flow is abundant. Around the spring are large stone blocks with railings, where visitors can look down at the spectacular sight of the three springs surging in the pool. Beside the spring stands a stone tablet inscribed with "First Spring" in dark green, written by Emperor Qianlong himself. In addition, nearby are scattered more than thirty famous springs, including Golden Thread Spring, Shuyu Spring, Xibo Spring, Liuxu Spring, Huanghua Spring, and Dukang Spring. Due to the abundant local rainfall in July and August, this is a good season to come and admire the spring water. In midsummer, visitors in the park can have close contact with the spring water. Some springs have no railings around them, and there are stone paths in the pools. Spring water flows over the stone paths, and visitors can go down into the pools to touch the water. Walking on the stone paths, their feet will get wet from the spring water, giving a cool sensation. Besides touching the water, there is also free spring water by the pools for visitors to drink directly. On the east side of the spring is the Wanghe Pavilion Teahouse, which offers visitors specially preparedThis springFragrant tea brewed with water, moderately priced. In addition to the springs, another sight worth seeing in the park is the South Gate. It is magnificently and elegantly decorated. The horizontal plaque above the gate, with the words "Baotu Spring" in golden characters on a blue background, was written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and is acclaimed as the "first gate" of Chinese gardens. Baotu Spring has been flowing continuously since it resumed in September 2003. In addition, the attraction frequently hosts various cultural events. Every year on the first day of the first lunar month, a lantern festival is held in the park, lasting 20 days. In late September each year, there is also a spring water culture festival lasting about 10 days, during which various folk activities, calligraphy and painting exhibitions, and opera performances are available for visitors to enjoy. From late October to late November each year, a chrysanthemum exhibition is also held in the park. In the golden fall season, with all the springs gushing and chrysanthemums and spring water complementing each other, it is well worth a visit. In addition, the attraction has also launched a cruise route. After touring the attraction, visitors who are interested can board a boat at the boat station and sail through Ximen Bridge in Jinan's old town, passing the east gate of Wulongtan Park and entering Wulongtan Lock, Jinan's first passenger lock in history, where they can experience a drop of more than 2 m. Sitting on the east side of the boat, visitors can also see reliefs of the "Eight Scenes of Jinan." Along the way, there are many aquatic plants on the banks, and the river water is so clear that the bottom is visible. The cruise finally passes through Yanbo Bridge and enters the Daming Lake attraction.China · Jinan

Having seen Yang Zhi Selling His Knife, Cleverly Seizing the Birthday Gifts, Wu Song Fighting the Tiger, and the Real and Fake Li Kui, the overall experience was quite good. The only slight regret was that it didn't feel like a deep dive into the story. The staff at the scenic area were very polite and enthusiastic, and there weren't too many tourists, which was acceptable.

A great place to relax with kids on the weekend. There are various games where you can win silver tickets, and lots of exciting performances. The grand horse battle against Fang La in front of the Martial Temple Square is particularly spectacular and highly recommended.

It truly is a famous mountain and river. From Jinan Railway Station → 17-minute train ride → Tai'an Station → 20+ minute taxi ride to the foot of the mountain → 3 hours from Hongmen → Nantianmen → 1 hour to stroll through Tianjie and Yuhuang Palace → cable car down the mountain. A thoroughly enjoyable mountain climb.

As night falls over the Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden, craftsmen raise their hands, sending molten iron soaring into the air. In an instant, golden light explodes, transforming into a shower of fireflies that rain down into the Bian River, reflecting a galaxy of stars on its shimmering surface. Along the riverbank, the lights of Song-style pavilions flicker, the golden blossoms vanishing in an instant, creating an atmosphere as if stepping into a radiant Song Dynasty night from the "Dongjing Menghualu" (Record of the Splendor of the Eastern Capital).

Family! Tai'an Dongping Lake must be praised! The lake water is so clear, and the heart is open when you look at it from a distance. The surrounding scenery is also beautiful, and the air is full of the smell of nature. There are just a few entertainment projects, but for the lake and mountains, it is really great to come here to relax. Recommended!

This is my second visit to Wansui Mountain. Every time I visit Kaifeng, this is the only place I can explore because it's so much fun! Many of the popular NPCs can keep me there all day; there's just no room to move. The scenery is vast. There are people interacting with everything. You can play games from morning till night. Everyone, from NPCs to security guards, cleaners, and shopkeepers, is incredibly welcoming, making you feel happy. There are so many activities! Prices are cheap, and there are plenty of restrooms, so you don't have to worry about finding one. The cleaning is excellent; you won't feel uncomfortable at all. Every staff member is exceptionally nice; no wonder it's ranked number one in the country. It's all thanks to the hard work of every staff member. Kudos to the operations team and all the cultural and tourism professionals!

It's very worthwhile, but it's also very crowded, which might slightly detract from the overall experience. However, the people are incredibly welcoming, and there are many beautiful spots for taking photos. The food is also affordable and inexpensive, which kids enjoy. I'll definitely go back when it's less crowded.

The chrysanthemum exhibition was quite large. There were many varieties and a large quantity of chrysanthemums, with novel and creative designs. The graceful chrysanthemums added charm and vibrancy to the ancient and tranquil Baotu Spring.
