Liuyuankou Yellow River Scenic Area
柳园口
A Yellow River embankment about 10 km north of Kaifeng, where you can see the 'suspended river above the land,' with the riverbed rising more than ten meters above the city.
Liuyuankou lies about 10 km north of Kaifeng and is the closest Yellow River viewpoint to downtown. Here the river is the famous 'suspended river above the land': its bed sits more than ten meters above the city's ground level. Standing on the embankment, you can see firsthand why Kaifeng is a 'city stacked upon city.' The embankment has viewing platforms, and on the riverbank you can ride speedboats or horses or eat Yellow River carp. Taking a taxi or driving takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and the evening is the best time to see the sunset over the Yellow River. The riverbank is slippery, so stay away from the water's edge.
