开封市博物馆

The Kaifeng Municipal Museum is the best starting point to distinguish the stages of multiple capital establishments and understand why the remains of the Northern Song Dynasty are often buried deep underground. Archaeological artifacts, models, city maps, and different versions of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" reconstruct administration, commerce, and daily life without pretending that the modern surface is anything but its original appearance. The subsequent contents of Jewish communities, guild halls, the Yellow River and local crafts also make the urban narrative transcend a single dynasty.

山陕甘会馆

Guildhalls built by merchants in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu during the Qing Dynasty combined business contacts, sacrifices, and mutual assistance with fellow villagers. Dense wood carvings, brick carvings and stone carvings turn the facades and screen walls into auspicious images, operas and records of merchants' identities. It shows that after the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng was still a commercial city connecting long-distance trade, and was not just a memorial to the former capital.
