Kaifeng Mansion is located on the north bank of Baogong East Lake in Gulou District, Kaifeng City, Henan Province. It is a theme cultural scenic spot built in 2003 according to the "Construction Methods" of the Song Dynasty. It has a very long history. It has existed since the first year of Kaiping in the Later Liang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, and has gone through many dynasties such as the Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou, and Northern Song.
If you come here for the New Year, this is a must-visit place. There are opening ceremonies and performances in the morning. You must come early to occupy a good place, or go to the city wall to see it after entering.
When you enter Kaifeng Mansion, the first thing you see is the solemn mansion gate. In the pavilions on both sides, there are "Kaifeng Mansion Title Record Tablet" and "Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Title Record Tablet", which record the names of the prefects and prefects of the past. Bao Gong's name is also on it, and everyone has touched it out! Walking in along the central axis, the main hall is solemn and solemn, and the plaque of "Integrity and Honesty" is particularly eye-catching. The three bronze guillotines next to the case - dragon head, tiger head, and dog head, make people seem to see the scene of Bao Gong's iron-faced and impartial judgment. Further back is the Plum Blossom Hall, where the legendary Bao Gong "sat upside down in the Southern Court". Bao Gong allowed the people to enter through the back door to tell their grievances. He really cared about the people.
There are many scenic spots in the park, such as Qianlong Palace, Qingxin Tower, Tianqing Temple, and Mingliyuan. Qianlong Palace was built to commemorate the fact that Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty once served as the prefect of Kaifeng; Qingxin Tower was named after Bao Zheng's poem, and there is a bronze statue of Bao Gong standing inside; Tianqing Temple is a holy place for worshipping Taoism, and it also has the function of managing Buddhist and Taoist affairs; Mingliyuan is the imperial examination culture area.
There are too many people during the New Year. Even if there are various performances, you can't see them if you don't occupy a good position in advance. The venue in the scenic area is too limited!
