Kaifeng, in central China’s Henan Province, is seeing a surge in cultural tourism as holiday crowds flock to Millennium City Park. Inspired by the famed Song-dynasty painting “Along the River During the Qingming Festival”, the park brings ancient life to vivid reality with folk performances, traditional crafts, and interactive heritage scenes.   Visitors can continue their cultural journey after dark, enjoying night shows and fish-lantern parades that transform the park into a lively spectacle. Beyond Kaifeng, this appetite for immersive experiences is expanding into museums and study tours, where hands-on programs and interactive performances are attracting new audiences.   Henan’s booming tourism reflects a broader national focus on high-quality cultural and tourism development, with the integration of arts, sports, and commerce seen as a key driver for economic growth. For travellers, the province offers a vibrant, living glimpse into China’s rich historical traditions.   Source: China Central Television
