It was founded in July 1992 in accordance with the painting of Millennium City Park done by Zhang Zeduan, a famous artist in Northern Song Dynasty and opened to the public in October 28th 1998. The Millennium City Park is a valuable life drawing for social custom, which represents social life, social custom and building structure of Kaifeng as ancient city in Northern Song Dynasty. Although it only shows part Kaifeng, it is very easy to know other streets situation by imagination. What is more interesting is that Zhang Zeduan put it into drawing from life one thousand years ago while Kaifengs people put it into life from drawing one thousand years later. Walking in Millennium City Park makes people feel having returned 1000 years ago.

Walking in the streets along Bianhe River, you could feel strong social custom by seeing peaceful scenes like lines of shops and hotels, kinds of mansions and houses. When entering into imperial tree garden along Bianhe river, you can enjoy yourself in the flat bluestone passage and imperial halls between the river and trees, both of them show imperial majesty and honor. Strolling in pavilions, you will feel like that you enter the imperial living of one thousand years ago.
