It is the main part of Dragon Pavilion Park located in the northwest of Kaifeng City, where six dynasties located their capitals. The site where the pavilion is located is the site of many dynasties' imperial palaces and reached its height of prosperity in the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). Then, most of the constructions were destroyed through wars. In the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the mansion of an emperor's son was established here with a garden. In the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) a hall was added, a place where the emperors' tablets were placed, thus getting the name of Dragon Pavilion.

Xiangguo Temple, which was constructed in 555 in the Northern Qi (550-557) of Northern and Southern Dynasties, lies in the center of Kaifeng city. When travel to kaifeng, you can not miss. It is one of the famous temples in Chinese history and plays an important role in the development of Buddhism in China. The existing structures were mainly built during the Qing Dynasty. Its beautiful scenery and deep culture won't let you down.
