Photos of Longting Park

Longting Park presents characteristic Kaifeng history and culture, consisting of three sections including Longting, Yangjiahu, and Panjiahu. Longting appears to be a pavilion, but is rather a temple built on a huge blue-brick base. It used be the site of the imperial palace during the late Liang, late Jin, late Han, late Zhou, Northern Song, and Jin Dynasties. The impressive site features not only ancient monuments, but gorgeous natural scenery. During the fall, this is the site of the Kaifeng Chrysanthemum Cultural Festival, which is a great time to come and enjoy the beauty of blooming chrysanthemums.
