The Imperial River, approximately 2500 meters in length, connects the two major scenic areas of Kaifeng City: Longting Lake and Bao Gong Lake. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and profound cultural heritage, Longting Lake is home to one 5A scenic spot, two 4A scenic spots, and one 3A scenic spot. Beneath the lake lies the thousand-year-old national treasure—the Six Dynasties Imperial Palace site. Next to Bao Gong Lake, there are two 4A scenic spots and one national protected site.
The Imperial River Dock is flanked by the bustling Xi Si Night Market. As a link, the Imperial River organically connects almost all tourist attractions in Kaifeng City. With a total investment of nearly 550 million yuan, it integrates the water systems of Longting Lake, Bao Gong Lake, and the Qingming Shanghe Garden, connecting the two major scenic areas of the ancient city and playing a pivotal role in the Song Dynasty’s water system. The city committee and the municipal government have placed high importance on it, planning from a high starting point, investing heavily, and constructing it as a boutique project, transforming the Imperial River into a beautiful landscape in Kaifeng.
