The ancient city of Dongjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), continues to resonate with modern-day people. Not only does it remain buried 8 to 10 meters beneath present-day Kaifeng, Henan province, but its influence is also evident in the designs of the city's contemporary tourist attractions.

Together, they invite visitors to transcend time and space and explore Chinese civilization. These sites are not just historical treasures but also symbols of an enduring cultural legacy, echoing the wisdom and grandeur of China's past.
