First built in the second year of Qiande, the Imperial Garden was designed as a scenic royal retreat.
North Imperial Garden neighbors Jinming Pool. From the upper floors of the main building Baojin Tower, one can gaze northward across blossoms and see the pool gleam through petals.
Each spring, this is where civil exam results are announced. The garden is opened to the public for the occasion. A spectacle of spring revelry, and one of Kaifeng's grandest festivities.
