Kaifeng Dragon Pavilion Scenic Area,Longting Fengjingqu
Found to the northwest of the city, the Dragon Pavilion is a palatial hall built on a thirteen-meters-high marble terrace. During the Song and Jin dynasties, this was the site of imperial palaces. Inside the pavilion enshrined the emperor’s tablets. Two dragons playing with a pearl are carved on a plaque on the pavilion, hence the name “Dragon Pavilion”. It became an important place for local and official ceremonies and festivities. Another hall was added during the reign of Qing Yongzheng. The great hall features traditional Chinese temple architectural style on a marble terrace. Stone tablets exhibited in the hall bear Chinese calligraphic inscriptions. Wax figures and portraits of Song emperors are also on display. A five minute walk from the wall will bring you to Wuchao Gate, the site of the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty.
