March 31- Kaifeng. This city is famous for having become the capital of the Song dynasty as its border was pushed south.

There is a famous painting titled “Along the river duing the Qingming (festival)” in the form or an exceptionally long horizontal scroll.This is said to portray Kaifeng during the Song Dynasty. It is a wonderful work that encompasses rural scenes as well as life in the city itself.
