Dragon Pavilion in Henan, China: A Royal Garden Epitomizing Kaifeng's Thousand-Year History

Located in the northwest corner of Kaifeng City, Henan Province, Longting is one of the most iconic historical sites in Kaifeng, carrying a thousand years of memories of Tokyo, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was originally the site of the Northern Song imperial palace, then changed through the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Wanshou Palace was built, where Emperor Kangxi made a tour of the city, and then changed into a place for worshiping Yu Wang during the Qianlong period, and most of the existing buildings are in the style of the Qing Dynasty. The Dragon Pavilion sits in the north-south direction, perched on a 13-meter-high green brick pedestal, with a lofty hall and magnificent atmosphere, which is a representative of the Qing Dynasty palace architecture in the Central Plains. Panjia Lake and Yangjia Lake in the park are divided into east and west, which are said to be related to the historical legend of "Yangjia General" and "Pan Renmei" of the Northern Song Dynasty, surrounded by blue water and ancient cypresses, combining historical weight and the beauty of the garden. As a witness to the spectacle of Kaifeng's "city on top of city", Longting is not only a royal garden, but also an important physical carrier for studying the history of the Northern Song Dynasty and the changes of Kaifeng City, and the "Longting Lantern Festival" held every year has become a bright business card to show the folk culture of the ancient capital.
