Qingming Shanghe Park – The memory of Song Dynasty The landscape is a reproduction of the memory of ancient people: The Qingming Shanghe Park carries the memories of the ancients. Bianliang (now Kaifeng) was once the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty and was the most developed and prosperous city in history. The 5-meter-long painting "Along the River during the Qingming Festival" by Zeduan Zhang, a painter of the Northern Song Dynasty, vividly tells the prosperity and wealth of a capital city: picturesque scenery, streets, shops, people coming and going, prosperity and tranquility... The ancients once sighed: “ ᄌ߆яƗສ୔٠ඕఖ ཝ࿼ö (Depicts the bustling scenery at that time). Thousands of years ago, Zeduan Zhang painted this prosperous world on a scroll; One thousand years later, people built the Qingming Shanghe Park on the blueprint. The Qingming Shanghe Park restores the living environment of the ancients in the painting according to the architectural characteristics of the Song Dynasty. The whole scenic area is covered with grass, with ancient sounds lingering, and bells and drums blowing, forming a lifelike ancient charm. In this place, people would feel as if they are going back to the memory of the ancients.

Landscapes help people remember history and culture: The Qingming Shanghe Park let people remember the traditional Chinese cultures and histories, so that they will not be forgotten.
