Lóngtíng Park
Site of the former imperial palace, this park is largely covered by lakes, into which hardy swimmers dive in winter. Climb the Dragon Pavilion (龙亭; Lóng Tíng) for town views.

Riverside Scenic Park Qīngmíng Garden
High on historical kitsch, this theme park recreates Kāifēng in its heyday, complete with cultural performances, folk art and music demonstrations. Within the park, the Jewish Cultural Exhibit Center is a fascinating foray into Kāifēng's Jewish culture.

Iron Pagoda Park
Rising up within Iron Pagoda Park is a magnificent 55m, 11th-century pagoda, a gorgeous, slender brick edifice wrapped in glazed rust-coloured tiles (hence the name); it's climbable for Y10. West of the pagoda is the Jiēyǐn Hall (接引殿; Jiēyǐn Diàn), where a bronze statue of Buddha from the Song/Jin era stands. The park hedges up against sections of the city wall.
Take bus 3 from the train station via Jiefang Lu to the route terminus; it's a short walk east to the park's entrance from here.
