Step into the Chinese Han Garden and experience the splendor of cultural art.

🌆 Today, I want to share with you an amazing cultural destination - the Chinese Han Garden! It is located in the northwest of Kaifeng City, the ancient capital of seven dynasties, on the west side of Longting Park. 🌟 The Chinese Han Garden is a magical treasure trove of art. It was founded by Mr. Li Gongtao in 1985 with his own funds. It is the first private stele forest in China and the largest private stele forest in China. As soon as you enter the park, it is as if you have stepped into a sacred hall of calligraphy art. The art of stele carving is the core here, from the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty to the various scripts of contemporary times, systematically showing the history of the development of Chinese calligraphy and the evolution of Chinese characters. Walking in the stele gallery, looking at the exquisite steles, the handwriting on them is either vigorous and powerful or elegant and unrestrained, making people marvel at the profoundness of calligraphy art. 🏞️ The garden scenery is even more beautiful. Here, mountains and rivers are interdependent, waterfalls and springs, and lakes and islands are reflected. More than a dozen artificial peaks have different shapes, five major waterfalls are magnificent, three major islands are like pearls inlaid in the lake, ten bridges span the water, and two large fountains add a dynamic beauty to the park. In the southern garden scenic area, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, making people feel relaxed and happy. 👀 The main attractions here are each unique. The solemn stele altar is an important landmark building of the Chinese Han Garden Stele Forest. The exterior is all made of white marble, and the dragon and phoenix reliefs are exquisite, showing the majesty of the royal family. The Yansheng Mountain Waterfall has a drop of 19 meters, and the sound of the waterfall is deafening, and the waves are splashing, as if people are in a fairyland. The four big golden characters "Chinese Han Garden" on the top of the south gate archway are shining, and the eight big characters "selfless dedication, hard work" on both sides reflect the noble spirit of Mr. Li Gongtao in creating the Chinese Han Garden. There is also the statue of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, which implies that the culture of the Chinese nation has the same root and the same origin, which makes people feel respectful. 🎉 The Chinese Han Garden also often holds various cultural activities, such as the Spring Festival Ancestor Worship Temple Fair, Qingming Cultural Series Activities, Filial Piety Culture Tourism Festival, etc., allowing tourists to feel a strong cultural atmosphere while enjoying the beautiful scenery. 💕 If you are a calligraphy lover, then the Chinese Han Garden is definitely your paradise; if you love traditional culture, you will also linger here. Come to the Chinese Han Garden and start a cultural and artistic journey 😉!
