Scenic Spots
It boasts numerous wonderful scenic spots, including the Rainbow Bridge, a wall painting of Qingming Festival by the Riverside, and the Kissing Cloud Pavilion, all of which are full of Song Dynasty (960-1279) elements. The Rainbow Bridge, a splendid wooden arch bridge that crosses the Bianhe River, which flows through Bianliang, the capital city of the dynasty and today's Kaifeng, is considered one of China's ten famous ancient bridges. The Kissing Cloud Pavilion, "fuyun" in Chinese, meaning touching the clouds, is the tallest building in the park.
A live-action show
The park also produced a grand live-action show on water, which uses a lot of technology and more than 700 performers to bring the audience's minds back to the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). The 70 minute theatrical performance takes inspiration from nine poems and the painting, Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, using a lake, pavilions, terraces and buildings to create a highly acclaimed live-action show.
