Song Du Huangcheng Cultural Tourism Resort
Song Du Huangcheng Cultural Tourism Resort is located in the northern part of the old city of Kaifeng, precisely on the site of the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty's Dongjing city. The millennium-old central axis of Kaifeng runs through this area, making it the core zone of the royal culture of the Song Dynasty. Here, you can find the Song-style imperial architecture of the Longting attraction, the tales of the Yang Family Generals at Tianbo Yang's residence, and the calligraphic steles of Han Yuan Stele Forest. The Shuanglong Lane historical and cultural block, 960 Cultural and Creative Park, and Qisheng Corner have transformed old streets and courtyards into Song-style blocks perfect for leisurely exploration. The resort also connects a series of Song culture attractions: Wansui Mountain Great Song Martial Arts City stages year-round martial arts live shows and intangible cultural heritage iron fireworks, while historic sites like the Iron Pagoda, Kaifeng city wall, Zhouqiao and Bian River ruins, Shanshangan Guild Hall, Yanqing Taoist Temple, and Fan Pagoda are scattered across the old city, along with niche spots like the underground wartime grain storage. These places are hard to cover in one day, so we recommend focusing on two or three key sites. After dark, a different experience awaits as the attractions light up in unison. Boarding a painted pleasure boat on the Great Song Imperial River to watch the illuminated pavilions and towers sway with the rippling water is a popular nightlife option here.China · Kaifeng

What travellers say about Puyang
esther_bai16 March 2026
4.0
The State of Wei, founded in the early Zhou Dynasty, had its capital at Chaoge. Qicheng was a small city located in the heart of Wei.
In 629 BC, Duke Cheng of Wei moved the capital to Diqiu (present-day Puyang), which served as the political, economic, and cultural center of Wei for 388 years. Later, as the state's power declined, Qicheng became a key military stronghold on the northern border.
The name "Qi" appears more than 40 times in the Spring and Autumn Annals. The *Zuo Zhuan* records that from 626 BC to 531 BC, feudal lords and high officials from various states held seven alliance meetings in Qicheng. The ruins of Qicheng contain a 20-meter-long, 16-meter-wide, and 4-meter-high platform, a rammed-earth platform built during the Spring and Autumn Period.
The Qicheng ruins are located in the southern part of Puyang city. The city wall has a circumference of 1520 meters, with the highest remaining section reaching 8.5 meters and the widest section 16 meters. There are gaps of 30-40 meters wide on all four sides, likely remnants of ancient city gates.
Admitted free of charge, this site, besides its historical significance, is also a popular spot for locals to relax. It has four gates: east, west, south, and north; parking is available outside the east gate.

It's very worthwhile, but it's also very crowded, which might slightly detract from the overall experience. However, the people are incredibly welcoming, and there are many beautiful spots for taking photos. The food is also affordable and inexpensive, which kids enjoy. I'll definitely go back when it's less crowded.

Admission to the Cangjie Mausoleum is free. Although it is free, the value of the visit is not high. There are three courtyards, and although there are unearthed pottery and pottery fragments inside, the naked eye can tell at a glance that the shape and color have been over-restored. If it is a cultural relic, please ask our museum staff to restore it to its original state. Can you not build the Cangjie Temple over the route that has been built into a tourist attraction...

Our guide at the Luobo Museum, Mr. Pei, was excellent. He was considerate of the artifact display cases, reminding the children in our group and others to keep a safe distance to avoid obstructing photos or leaving handprints. His explanations were engaging and detailed, although latecomers sometimes interrupted him. Overall, it was a good experience, and we saw all the museum's treasures and popular artifacts within the limited time – definitely worth it.

The Henan Museum is very large and has a wide variety of exhibits. The guides are detailed and comprehensive, and they clearly explain the stories behind the artifacts. I highly recommend hiring a guide when you visit, as it's easy to rush through things on your own.
