Kaifeng Attractions:
Six Dynasties Palace: Longting==--
Longting, a national AAAA tourist attraction, is located in Zhongshan, the north-south transportation hub trunk line in Kaifeng City North end of the road. In 780 AD, Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty and Li Shi built the Yongping Army Jiedushi Administrative Office in Kaifeng (now where Longting is located), which is the Fan Town Government Office. As time went on, the Later Liang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou among the Five Dynasties successively changed it into a royal palace. After the rebellion of Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao, the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, he also used this place as his palace. Later Jin also fell in love with this geomantic treasure. The rulers of the Ming Dynasty even carried out extensive construction projects and built the Zhou vassal palace. It was changed to Longting Park in 1925. In 1927, when Feng Yuxiang took over Henan Province for the second time, it was renamed Zhongshan Park. It was officially named Longting Park in 1953.
--== National Treasure: Iron Pagoda==--
The Iron Pagoda, also known as the Kaibao Temple Pagoda, was built in the first year of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty (1049). Today is 956 years old. During construction, 28 kinds of ocher-colored glazed bricks were used. Due to the erosion of the years, the original color of the iron tower has been blurred. "The sun and the moon are beautiful, but now only white and black remain." "White and black" is a compound partial meaning, that is, black. Therefore, the Iron Tower is also known as the Black Tower. Because the outer walls of the tower are all made of dark brown glazed bricks, which are solemn and thick, it was commonly known as the Iron Tower after the Yuan Dynasty. The iron tower is an equilateral octagonal thirteen-story solid tower with a height of 55.88 meters. The tower body is equipped with Gui-shaped gates layer by layer, from the first floor to the sixth floor, from north, south, west, north, east, south and back. And so on. In fact, the tower is more than 55.88 meters high. Chang Maolai of the Qing Dynasty described in "A Brief History of the Iron Pagoda Temple" that the original foundation of the Iron Pagoda was "an eight-sided square pool under the tower base. There is a small bridge on the north side. Cross the bridge and enter through the north gate." "Rumenglu" records: " There is a plaque on the door to the south: 'The First Tower in the World'." At the foundation of the iron tower, there is neither a "Bafang Prism Pond" under the tower, nor a "small bridge" in the north, nor a plaque saying "The First Tower in the World". "Enter through the north gate" is consistent with reality. This shows that the foundation of the tower is partially buried underground. The lower part of the information is "Zhang Yu". It is known that the depth of the siltation layer in the Longting area when it was flooded in the late Ming Dynasty indicates that the iron tower was buried by "more than ten feet" at that time, which was about 4 meters, so the original height of the iron tower was 59 meters. The reason: In the 21st year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty, the Yellow River surrounded Bian City. In order to protect this majestic ancient building, people took the initiative to move the eight-sided square pool under the tower and the small bridge to the north (that is, through the bridge to enter the north gate on the first floor). ) was flattened, leaving the tower as it is. The Iron Tower, which dates back more than 900 years, has experienced 5 dynasties including the Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, as well as the long years of the Republic of China. It has suffered 43 earthquakes, 10 hailstones, 6 river floods, and 19 wind disasters. On the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival in 1938, it was bombarded by the Japanese invading army, causing the tower to be covered with bruises. Although the Iron Tower has been hit by natural disasters and man-made disasters many times, it still stands tall like a steel mast in the northeast of Kaifeng City.
